Fernando Alonso apologizes to Schumacher

After the F1 race in Turkey, Fernando Alonso apologized to German Mick Schumacher, whom he hit and spun in the first lap of the race. The Spaniard started the race from fifth place, but was involved in a collision with Pierre Gasly, who also spun him on the track. The two-time world champion then tried to break back among the points winners, colliding with Schumacher, for which the commissioners penalized him with a 5-second penalty and two penalty points. “I tried to overtake him and I thought I was already at his race car, but I was a little late,” Alonso admitted. "We hit, unfortunately it spun. I'm sorry for the collision, which wouldn't have happened if I hadn't fallen to 14th place. I shouldn't have been in that place."

Alpine sports boss Alan Permane praised Fernando Alonso, who did not resort to his old habits after returning to Formula 1 despite a difficult start to the season.

So the book will come out when I stop racing." Alonso is expected to reveal many details about his years at Renault and his tense relationship with Lewis Hami

ALONSO: HAMILTON owes MERCEDES more than the other way around

formula 1

Lewis Hamilton and Fernando Alonso are no strangers. In his debut season, Hamilton joined the McLaren team and became a teammate of the Spaniard. Both staged an internal duel for dominance that ended with Alonso leaving the Woking team after just one season. They also met later on the track and the Spaniard knows Hamilton's qualities, but he also knows how Formula 1 works. "Hamilton owes Mercedes more than Mercedes owes Hamilton. There is no dominance in Formula 1 if you don't have a winning car. If you win a series of titles , this means that the team has a lot of technical superiority, "Alonso said in an interview with Corriere Della Sera. Rutiner adds that this has happened not only to Hamilton but also to other racers, including some he knows well. Alonso t

Young Driver Test XNUMX in ABU DHABI: “Youngster” ALONSO Fastest

formula 1

The Formula 1 season has finally come to an end today, as another test of 15 young and fewer young racers took place in Abu Dhabi. As usual, a test of young racers took place today, including senior Fernando Alonso, whose test raised quite a bit of dust. The best time of the day was achieved by a racer who, as said, is no longer young (after years, of course). Fernando Alonso had the fastest lap in 1: 36.333 minutes. With his time, the Spaniard was even a few thousandths faster than the regular racer Esteban Ocon in the second part of Saturday's qualifiers, even though they were under the spotlight. With that, Alonso beat both Mercedes, which landed in second and third place. Sebastien Buemi caused the only slight shock to Red Bull bosses when the RB16 raced against a guardrail di

YOUNG DRIVER TEST 2020: WHO WILL DRIVE FOR WHICH TEAM?

formula 1

Fifteen racers will take part in the tests of young racers in Abu Dhabi, but these tests will be more of a reserve test for young people, as Fernando Alonso, Sebastien Buemi and Robert Kubica, who are all well over thirty, are among the fifteen. They also lack experience - Alonso was the world champion, Kubica won the race in Canada, and Buemi also has 55 Formula 1 races on his account. Why do all these "old men" actually take part in tests for young drivers who are primarily intended for racers who have less than two races in F1? The answer is actually that after Alonso was approved by the FIA, some other teams also reported drivers who did not meet the originally set criteria. From testing for young racers, the event thus spilled over into these

Last but not least, the young Frenchman, who has experienced quite a few disappointments in his career, was able to look forward to his first steps. And the whole Renault team was looking forward to it. Cyril Abiteboul also emphasized after the penultimate race of the season: “I am really happy for Esteban, we had success with Daniel Ricciard, but he is leaving us and it was important to celebrate success with Esteban, who will be racing for us next year as well. We felt that the podium was within reach, but for various reasons and also problems with reliability, which was not his fault, we did not manage to climb the podium with him until this race, but this time everything fit and finally we can he, too, rejoices in such great success.
