The Asturian rider achieved his fourth podium of the season while the Madrid rider was once again in 5th place, although it could have been fourth place, had he not made a childish mistake on the track.
In the Chiringuito de Jugones they know very well what difference exists between Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz. Despite the fact that they are Spanish references in the world motorsportand each one has achieved important achievements, in the sports program they consider that the Asturian He is light years above Madrid.
Age is not the factor that they have found to differentiate these two pilots, but experience is, and in this section Fernando Alonso is the winner. Yesterday at the Miami GP, the man from Oviedo was back in third place and thus won his fourth podium of the season. While Sainz was once again in fifth place, but could have achieved fourth and even third place, had he not made a blunder.
At the Chiringuito they analyze Carlos Sainz’s mistake and say that Fernando Alonso would not have made it
To contextualize our readers a bit, the Madrid driver of the Ferrari, was penalized with 5 seconds for making a mistake at the pit-lane entrance. This Sainz said. “I entered the pit lane last, he surprised me and I made a mistake, so I spent the whole race worried about whether there was a Safery Car, as happened to me in Australia. I take it that I did a great first stint and I pushed Fernando as far as I could and with the second I almost shot myself in the foot. It’s time to keep working.”
This undoubtedly cost him the chance to catch up with his compatriot and win his first podium of the season. At the Chiringuito they were very critical of this issue, and one of their journalists (Chechu Párraga) commented on it. “That is one of the differences as to why Carlos Sainz is a good driver but not a great driver. Fernando Alonso does not make this mistake, they are beginner mistakes that can cost careers. In this case, it didn’t cost anything because it took 5 seconds, but later on it could be expensive” sentenced the communicator.
Fernando Alonso and his fourth podium of the season
Once again the Nano has achieved an important third place and with it has added 4 podiums out of 5 possible. In Azerbaijan he got away from him by a poor position, but in the United States he has regained his confidence and has been among the top 3 drivers in the race. The Oviedo could not be happier, but at the same time he added that he wants to go for more and win his first race in 2023.
“I’m not satisfied, at the beginning of the season this was incredible, we didn’t expect to be on the podium regularly, but now I want something more. Maybe in Monaco or Barcelona we will have an opportunity…” said Fernando Alonso very motivated. The Asturian currently occupies the number 3 place with 75 points, while Carlos Sainz is fifth with 44 points.
