It was a suffering race for Fernando Alonso in Sao Paulo, according to the statements made by the Asturian, first on the radio towards his team and then before the media after the race in which he finished second to last.
“My back is hurting a lot from the rebound, but I’m going to finish the race for the mechanics, for the work they’ve done,” he said over the Aston Martin radio once he left the track and was in last position.
Alonso had a hard time getting out of the car once the grand prix was over, the Aston Martin mechanics helped him and the driver headed towards his team’s camp with visible signs of pain. His friend Alberto Fernández transported him the scooter with which he usually moves around the circuits and he walked with difficulty.
Later, in the interview chamber, the Asturian felt his back and had problems stringing together sentences in front of the microphones of the television channels with rights. Was visibly excited.
“We have not done the job that you had to do because the conditions were the same for everyone, the car had a lot of bounce,” he began by saying.
And later he explained: «Under normal conditions I would not have finished the race, but it had to be done for the mechanics, also for me who suffered a little before getting here and for the people of Valencia, which is in many worse situations than the rebound that I have today.”
“It was painful, and arriving at this race required a lot of preparation and many tests on my part, with the physio, with the doctors, to be able to get to Brazil,” explained the pilot. My physical condition after this race take a step back in the body so I will have to reset in the next few days. There was a lot of effort on everyone’s part, the same as that of the mechanics this Sunday. But there are people who are much worse than me, in Valencia we see terrible images and people are suffering much more. So I had to suffer a couple of laps for everyone else.”
