Speaking to the on-site media after the race, Alonso said:
Having suffered DNFs in five races, Fernando Alonso calculated that he had lost 66 points in total, mostly due to reliability issues. The Spaniard was running seventh and comfortably ahead of his teammate Esteban Ocon when he suffered an engine failure and retired. The double world champion questioned how his car was the only one suffering from reliability issues.
Expressing his thoughts on this season, the Spanish driver said:
Fernando Alonso compares Honda-McLaren situation with Alpine
The Spanish champion wasn’t too delighted with his fifth retirement from a race this season, comparing his current situation to that of McLaren-Honda in the past. Comparing the two instances, Fernando Alonso claimed that during his time at Woking, both cars had retirements, whereas with Alpine this year it has only been his car suffering from reliability issues.
Speaking to the on-site media after the race, Alonso said:
Asked if luck was a factor in play with poor results this year, Fernando Alonso said:
Fernando Alonso feels Alpine has an engine that cannot complete the entire race distance without causing problems. Having replaced six engines in 19 races, the double champion reckons the French team will have a lot of their work cut out over the winter.
