Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso says he doesn’t understand why he crashed out of second practice from Formula 1’s Japane🔴se Grand Prix.

Around halfway through the hour-long FP2 at Suzuka, Alonso went straight on at the first Degner curve before spinning ♈180 degrees over the run-off.

The incident triggered the second red flag of the session, with his 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin getting beached into the gravel after the spin.

Replays suggested that the two-time F1ꦅ champion had run slightly wide over the tarmac and touched the grass with his left-rear wheel, although Aston is ye🧜t to issue a full explanation for the crash.

Alonso himself doesn’t know what caused him to lose control of his car at the high-speed right-hander, al💦though he suggested that wind might have played a role in him running wide.

“I don’t know [what happened], I need to review it,” the 43-year-old said. “[I] lost the car in a very weird way. [It was] very windy and very✱ gu𓄧sty out there and the car is a little bit critical.

“I don’t know if I put a tyre ꦦon the grass or something, I need to review it. I will try to avoid it tomorrow.”

The Suzuka circuit has been resurfa☂ced ahead of the 2025 F1 race, with fresh asphalt being laid from the final🎐 chicane to the end of the opening sector.

Alonso was happy with the changes, having felt that the circuit authorities had done a fine job at smoothening all the bumps.
 
“Yeah, it’s better. It’s grippier and 🎀very smooth,” he said. “[There are] no bumps at all through the first sector, which is the most interesting part of the circuit with super high-speed corn🎶ers.

“[It was a] really fun circuit to drive [on🐷 and a] really enjoyable lap when you are🔥 behind the wheel. Looking forward to tomorrow.”

Alonso finished a strong seventh in opening practice, seven-tenths off pacesetter 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, while his teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lance Stroll ended up 16th on the leaderboard.

Neither driver could manage a fast lap in the afternoon due t♔o constant stoppages.

However, Alons𓆏o was nevertheless upbeat about Aston Martin’s prospects for the♊ weekend, saying: “We are slightly more competitive than in China so hopefully Q3 is possible tomorrow”
