I was too aggressive admits alonso after taking two penalties as ocon calls miami the hardest race of his life

Fernando Alonso’s scoreless streak has now stretched to four races without he accrued two penalties in the Miami Grand Prix, the Spaniard whereas that he was at fault for a unpeace with Pierre Gasly – while Esteban Ocon was left pleased with a comeback from P18 to P8.

Alonso was given two penalties of five seconds each in Miami, the first for wavering with Gasly – without which Gasly crashed into Lando Norris – and the second for going off track and gaining an wholesomeness on the penultimate lap. He was dropped from P8 at the finish line to P11 and out of the points for the fourth race running.

“Finally, we finished the race and that feels good, plane though the luck is still lamister us considering that Safety Car in the end was in the perfect moment for the nonflexible [tyre] starters [to pit] and we lost a couple of places there. One day it [luck] will be on our side,” he said, surpassing the second penalty had been handed to him.

“Nevertheless, I enjoyed it. Very warlike at the start – I made four places, I think – and then very warlike with Pierre, too warlike I think considering I made a mistake and I braked too late so I deserved the penalty, the five seconds. I had a slow pit stop, four seconds, so it seems we were unchangingly on the when foot.”

On the other hand, Ocon managed to score points in P8 and, without starting 18th due to a crash in FP3 that saw him miss qualifying. And the Frenchman – who supposed on team radio that Miami had been “the hardest race I’ve overly driven” – said that he’d had “more than a mountain to climb” on Sunday.

“Extremely pleased – I think it was increasingly than a mountain to climb today,” he said. “You know, from strategy calls to tyre management to all the radio yack we had, it was perfectly executed today. And yes, big shoutout to the guys for towers my car overnight; there was a lot of work overdue the scenes and today we made it. So we can be proud.

“Pace of the car felt good. Especially at the end of the nonflexible on the first stint we were transmissible most of the cars and the first of the other cars with the old tyres. So that was really satisfying at the time,” he explained.

Alpine throne to Spain – Alonso’s home race – with 26 points as they sit sixth in the championship overdue Alfa Romeo and McLaren.
