The challenge with the bag
After being at the centre of the news flow all week thanks to the announcement of the signing – starting next season – of Adrian Newey, Aston Martin was in the spotlight for a very different and much more curious reason in FP2 in Baku. The camera car mounted on the AMR24 of Fernando Alonso in fact, he showed a very particular ‘duel’ that saw the Asturian champion as the protagonist on the track with a…plastic bag.
The ‘hunt’ led by the boxes
During the day on Friday the track turned out to be very dirty and full of debris and among these there was also a small plastic bag, almost certainly coming from the stands, which however caused quite a bit of trouble to the Spanish champion ending up get stuck on his halo.
Alonso, warned of the problem by the pits – and guided by radio in an unusual ‘treasure hunt’ – had to work hard to manage to grab it with one hand and remove it from that potentially dangerous positionthen resuming his session regularly. A small unscheduled event while waiting for tomorrow to start getting serious with qualifying.
