Fernando Alonso has had his say on how his crash with Esteban Ocon looked from his point of view.
Fernando Alonso believes his collision with Esteban Ocon was a case of “wrong place, wrong moment”, after the former Alpine team-mates had a high-speed crash during the Sprint Shootout at Interlagos on Saturday.
This caused a half-hour delay to the Sprint Shootout with the necessary barrier repairs that took place, with Ocon dubbing his former colleague a “f***ing idiot” over team radio in the immediate aftermath of the incident.Both drivers were summoned to the stewards to discuss the impact after the Shootout, though Alonso was confident that Aston Martin would be able to repair his car in time for the Sprint later on Saturday.
“Unfortunately we could not complete the qualifying, it’s a shame, both cars out of the qualifying now and a lot of damage in both cars I guess. Not the way we wanted,” Alonso said in the media pen after climbing out of his car.
