Fernando Alonso starred in one of the images of the day in the Hungarian Grand Prix. During the last free practice session, held in heavy rain, he nearly lost control of his Alpine and suffer an accident, but he avoided it with a maneuver reserved for the talent of very few pilots.
In addition, it is noteworthy that Fernando Alonso ended up satisfied with the overall result of Alpine; fifth Or with and the Asturian sixth, but with the bitterness of not having improved his Q2 lap in Q3, which would have earned him to be fifth in front of Norris. This was highlighted in an interview.
This was the optimism that Fernando Alonso reflected in Hungary
“The objective was to be in the top ten and we achieved it with a margin. Then in Q3 we are fifth and sixth and it is a great result. There is some rain forecast for the race, we will have to be very attentive”, closed the two-time Spanish champion before an open Hungarian GP.
A pity, that the rain only made an appearance in Free Practice 3, on Saturday morning. Alonso was the fastest on intermediate tires until the red flag due to Vettel’s accident, then he was left without a final attempt and lost positions in the practice time table.
The social networks of Formula 1 valued the effort of the Spanish driver
For the memory he left saves, captured perfectly by the helmet camera that Fernando Alonso wears this weekend. With wet, the Alpine was aiming for more than just the third row on the Hungaroring grid. A moment full of great intensity for all motorsport fans.
