As is known, he will return next year with Renault, which has changed its name to Alpine. Fernando Alonso On Tuesday, after a two-year hiatus, he was able to get back into a Formula One car. Within the framework of Spanish Film Day, he was able to lead the construction of this year’s French body, the RS20, at the Circuit de Catalunya, the track where it all started.
The two-time world champion said positively at the end of the tests, but said he still needs time to recover.
“It was a very good day of filming in Barcelona. I was only able to do a hundred miles, but it was still special to be able to drive an F1 again and come back to the team. It felt great. The car is currently overtaking me because I still can’t get the most out of it. It is not easy to recover. I improved from circle to circle and tried to give feedback to the engineers. We also shot a movie, so cameras and drones were still on the track. It was difficult. I feel like there is potential in the car, as we can see on race weekends. At the same time, there is still room for improvement and we will try to take advantage of this as soon as possible. ” he declared and then discussed what he still had to get used to.
“The last three categories I participated in were Dakar in January, IndyCar in August and now Formula 1, so the three cars could not have been more different. I have a slightly easier thing to do in F1 as I’ve been driving here my whole life, I’ve spent eighteen years in it and now I’m going back. In fact, there is still something missing in stopping distance, how fast cornering approaches, brake performance, cornering speed, so there’s so much more to come back to. However, it still takes less time than having to switch to something completely new, like a Dakar or IndyCar.” He said, speaking that he needed to get back in shape and strengthen his neck and torso.
“My neck is fine after a hundred miles, but I can tell you better tomorrow. Maybe it hurts a little. For now everything is fine, but I still have to work hard. Then, in terms of comfort, we also have to start preparing little by little: seat test, allocation of steering positions and pedals, we still have a lot to do. I also need to have a good relationship with the engineers so that we can understand each other at a glance. We need to take time out for everything, and now we need to use this period and winter break to put it all together. for spring ” Added.
“Thank you all, it was good to be back in the car and with you.” @alo_oficial # Spirit #Fernando Alonso pic.twitter.com/mm3unChmMI
