The Spanish Formula One driver Fernando Alonso (McLaren) has assured that he is “one hundred percent” and with “zero pain” regarding his accident in the Australian Grand Prix, although Russia is “a complicated circuit” for the characteristics of his car.
«I am one hundred percent, zero pain. I have spent two weeks training without complications, now I don’t even have to take aspirin to get in the car, “he told Movistar TV cameras.
The two-time world champion in 2005 and 2006 has recognized that the Sochi Autodromo is a “difficult” track for McLaren, as it is one of those that requires more top speed. His goal is to get closer to the third qualifying round, Q3, which gives access to the top ten places on the starting grid.
“It will be a difficult weekend, but we can’t wait to see where we can be. We were close to Q3 in China, to see if we have a chance to fight. Later in the race, trying to score points that escaped us in China, in Australia I had the accident, hopefully the third time is the charm, “he added.
Asked about the slogan that the McLaren-Honda team has placed in its garage ‘Believe in McLaren’, Alonso said that in the British team “you always have to believe” as it is “a historic team” that has done “great things” .
We have learned from the mistakes we made, now we will make others but not the same ones. The ascending line is quite clear and we are plugged in and optimistic to see results that can be touched with the hands, “said Fernando Alonso. EFE
