In the end
Fernando Alonso finished 16th, between the two Williamses, behind
Russell, and having served the 5-second penalty on his visit to the pits.
For its part,
Sainz The pilot of the day has been chosen. Without a day he made a great comeback and had it not been for the bad pit stop, he might have fought for position with Hamilton, as he was the fastest driver on the track, until Bottas set the fastest lap on the last lap. So duties for Ferrari given the good results of the drivers.
Yes, today’s result of
Red bull with a double on the podium is due to the great work of
Sergio perez. I have starred in a spectacular fight with
Hamilton defending his position and has taken advantage of the British. And not only that, but he has also been on the podium. With this result, he not only gets more points for his team but also benefits his teammate in the constructors’ world championship.
The team has prepared a strategy thinking about minimizing the damage in the World Cup, allowing
Bottas climb to the top of the podium for the first time this season. The goal was for the Finn to win the race to prevent
Verstappen took the victory.
For his part
Hamilton he was upset on the radio because they made him enter the pits. The tires were completely flat, with 10 laps to go to finish the race. Situation that was dangerous because it could have ended in a puncture. In the end the Briton finished fifth, having a great first part of the race, being very, very fast.
Sainz ahead of
Tsunoda ranks ninth.
F1 GP Turkey | Alonso’s touch at the start: ‘How stupid is Gasly!’
Two stops:
– Pit stop between laps 12-17 starting with mediums and riding hard, and visiting pits for the second time between laps 35-40 to ride hard again.
– Pit stop between laps 13-18 starting with mediums and riding hard, and entering the pits again between laps 38-43 to mount mediums.
One stop:
– Pit stop between laps 20-25 starting with mediums and riding hard
Nobody wants the red compound, the softest, but the only one we know that will mount the red compound is
Tusonda, you are bound.
The brutal crack of Fernando Alonso for the treatment he receives
F1 GP Turkey | Alonso: “It was like discovering a new track”
Alonso: “From Istanbul I remember Schumacher glued to me”
Alonso: “You have to believe in ‘The Plan’, remember”
Alonso returns to the charge: “‘The Plan’ is underway”
For its part,
Fernando Alonso It also came out very well and remained in the top 10. Towards the end of the race he sounded very strong as a candidate for the podium. The strategy worked for them
Alpine and he held the pace very well throughout the race. It is an old dog that knows how to function under pressure and well cover the gaps of the threats that came from behind, making the most of the Alpine. The rain, of course, shook the classification but
finished sixthwhile your partner,
Esteban Ocon, took position 14.
The ‘great circus’ arrives in Turkey with
Lewis hamilton as world leader after contesting the crazy grand prize of
Russia, two weeks ago, in which
Max verstappen was the great beneficiary. Hamilton made a very bad start, but managed to win the race after a bad decision by an ambitious
Lando norris that did not deal well with the rain that came in the last laps of the race and in abundance. His inexperience meant that he did not ride intermediates and fell from first position to seventh. For this reason, Hamilton won and the chaos on the track and pits, due to the strong water, facilitated the great comeback of Verstappen who started last and crossed the finish line in second position. So he minimized the damage in the fight for the drivers’ world championship, with a difference of only two points between the leader, Hamilton and him who is second.
Lando norris, meanwhile, starts from seventh position after leading the race in
Sochi. The third position of the World Cup is played with
Bottas, but it seems that this is not his weekend, since he has been more discreet in front of a
Pierre Gasly who has shone and surprised with his good performance, coming fourth with his
Alpha Tauri, behind the
Leclerc Ferrari.
Carlos Sainz he did a great teamwork. He knew he would start last on the grid, but his job yesterday was to qualify to leave his direct World Cup rival out of Q2. And so it was, Sainz went to Q2 while
Daniel Ricciardo it was classified in position 15.
Fernando Alonso made the best ranking of the year. Despite repeating the sixth position, fifth will be the result of Hamilton’s penalty. A Hamilton who has starred in an impeccable weekend at the track where he signed his seventh title.
