Fernando Alonso returns to Montreal this weekend for his seventeenth Formula 1 Grand Prix in Canada. Now with the longest career in Formula 1 history, the Spaniard is keen to build on his last two races and make it a fourth points finish in a row in Montreal.
Another seventh-place finish in Baku, how do you summarise last weekend?
It was a decent result for us to finish seventh. I feel like we maximised our car and the opportunities presented to us by the retirements of other cars. We had to manage the tyres carefully especially with the lower downforce setup we had.
But it meant we were quite protected in the straights and we could make up some ground after the pitstop and defend quite comfortably to the McLarens behind at the end of the race. We still need to better understand our car and why we are experiencing differences from Friday through to Sunday.
Many drivers are talking about the uncomfortable ride experienced in Baku. How did you find it?
Our car is quite good at managing the bouncing effect of this year’s cars. I didn’t feel it too much in Baku and we were more focused on managing tyre degradation, especially of the rear tyres. It’s going to be different at each circuit, for example in Jeddah it was very smooth, and Australia as well, and nobody said anything there. It’s going to be very difficult for all of the teams to agree on change.
You are now the Formula 1 driver with the longest career in the sport. How do you keep up your longevity racing at such an elite level in motorsport?
I am happy to have achieved this milestone in Formula 1. I think 21 years at the pinnacle of any sport, whether it’s motorsport, basketball, or any others is a great achievement. It requires a lot of passion, self-discipline and sacrifice over the years but it’s all worth it. I am happy to have achieved this and there is more to come!
