We know the time we have lost. Every driver has four days and I lost one. Not a pleasant situation, but that's the way things are. We need to get a lot of information in a short time and we have to learn what happens to the car, "said Alonso.
"We've had a lot of problems and tried conservative configurations to make sure the systems worked well. I can not say anything about the engine because we have not mounted the specification that corresponded. I hope Honda has a solution this week. So, next week we should have something better, "added the Spaniard.
The bicampeón of the world could take some positive aspects with respect to the new monoplazas in spite of the lack of mileage. "Yesterday we tried with demonstration tires. Today, with the standard tires completed 29 laps but many were installation. We could not squeeze the potential. The only conclusion is that the new cars look good and are faster in the corners. You can reach the limit a little more. "

We were not racing at full power, it's difficult to have a 'feeling' right now, we had a lot of problems and in the end we used very conservative set- "There is nothing dramatically wrong, but the point is that you have to be faster than others, that the goal is to make up for the time and that the First day has not gone as well as we'd want. There's no reason to hide it. "
"We can not comment on the power unit because we did not use the 'spec' that should be in the car. Hopefully, Honda can quickly find solutions for this week and have more normal days with Stoffel and me on Wednesday, and then That next week we have something better and more similar to what I hope we use in Australia, because it is difficult to comment on the first day."
"When you have to lift your foot for three seconds before braking, turn the steering wheel around in the right turns and do not turn it on the left to check the oil levels and those things, you get low and you have a good feeling for To re-drive a Formula 1, but as to what the car can give I have no idea. "
"The only conclusion is that the cars are nice, faster in the corners. It's good to get back down to that feeling of downforce and to be able to take the car a bit more to the limit." I've seen other cars spor the track and paint very well. Happy with that, happy that the sport goes in the right direction. I feel bad for the fans, they have seen horrible cars in recent years. "
Common sense, please. Today only has been the first day of testing.Diesel wrote:Another year at the back. I wonder how long it takes the board to force Zak Brown out.
How many more years does this continue before the sell the F1 team off? They've lost all their sponsors, I can't imagine this kind of performance is doing their automotive business any good...
That gets my vote!!CmdrVOODOO wrote:The livery is nice but just lacking sponsors and some finishing touches.
