• Alonso describes Hamilton’s decision which led to brilliant overtake

During the 57-lap race, Alonso was involved in a number of intense battles, including one with former McLaren teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton.

Alonso used the DRS to get past Hamilton into Turn 4, but suffere🍸d with some oversteer on corner entry, meaning he lost out to the Mercedes driver.

He later got past the seven-time champion with an opp𝐆ortunistic overtake into Turn 10.

Speaking to Sky after the race, Alonso admitted he still needs t𒊎o adapt to Aston Martin’s power st🤡eering assistance. 

“I 🦩think it was still [caused by the] slowing down,” he said. “I still need to get used to the power assistance and things on this cꦬar.

“It’s a bit different compar♍ed to Alpine, so it caught me by surprise, to be honest.♛”

It’s the first time in the hybrid era that Alonso has driven with Mercedes engines, having𒐪 already used Honda, Renault and Ferrari with his previous teams.

He doesn’t think the Mercedes power unit was a factor in his overstee🌺r moment at Turꦍn 4.

“Power unit-wise, I don’t think ther𒅌e is much in it,” he added.

“But the car itself and the front suspension geometry is always different between cars. So, y🌱ou have different feedback from the fro✨nt grip on your hands on the steering wheel.

“At that kind of moment, I am sure I need more time on track and 🅰in this car.”

Pressed on the reason for his slide: “I think we know what is causing that, ⛦but I will keep it for me. We're still working. As I said, the car is v🍌ery new. We need to learn more about the car; I need to get used to the car.

“So those moments were moreꦏ coming from me getting used to the car, getting used to the driving input, feedback༒ from the steering wheel and power assistance.

“So, things are not 100% tailor-made yet.”
