Fernando Alonso post race interview |P11| “The final result is just bad luck” |Imola Grand Prix 2025

Hey Fernando, I heard you use the word torture in the car, just how tough was it in there? Yeah, I mean it was just unlucky, you know, the car was super today. We followed the McLaren and Russell at the beginning of the race, which was definitely a good surprise for us to be that competitive in the front part of the field. And then, yeah, I think we were okay to secure P6, P7 with both cars and then the virtual safety car gave the opportunity to everyone to stop and exit in front of us and our race was over. So yeah, I think extremely unlucky, but the car was competitive, a good fight, even at the end I overtook three or four cars of the midfield in nine laps. So yeah, it's something that we were not used to this year, so definitely a step forward. I know that when the team have brought developments in the past they haven't always delivered, it must be super encouraging that the package you brought here, I know the final result wasn't there, but for the future that must be encouraging. Yeah, I think as I said, you know, the final result is just pure bad luck, with stream bad luck I think today, but it's going to be other races that we will have very good luck and we will, you know, take some points that maybe we don't deserve. So, you know, let's wait for another opportunity.
