Mas Alonso avisa...
F1 Chinese Grand Prix: Alonso warns rivals to ‘enjoy
this moment’
Fernando Alonso has issued a warning
to his rivals to 'enjoy this moment' of him being knocked out of Q1 for a
second race in succession, before making a pointed barb towards Ferrari at its
deficit to Mercedes in qualifying for the Chinese Grand Prix.
Despite promising times during free
practice, neither Alonso nor Jenson Button could haul McLaren-Honda out of Q1
in qualifying, the pair starting 18th and 17th respectively in Shanghai.
At a time when his former team Ferrari
is starting on the second row, Alonso remains unrepentant about his decision to
switch to McLaren, reiterating that it will take a 'risk' to get the better of
Mercedes.
Indeed, Alonso went on to say that
while rivals may enjoy watching him struggle at the moment, he says there is
also no satisfaction to be had for Sebastian Vettel being almost a second
behind Mercedes either.
"I'm involved in a new project
because to beat Mercedes you need to do something different, you need take some
risks, so it's what I decided last year to do,” he said.
“I finished second in the world
championship three years in the five years with Ferrari, I could continue two
more years there and maybe finish second again, but that was not enough and I
preferred the risk.
"Now I'm not getting out of Q1,
so it's time for many to enjoy at this moment. Those who are enjoying, they are
third, one second behind.
“They're beating me, but they're not
beating Mercedes, which at the end of the day is my goal. So it's time for
others to enjoy, but soon it will be time for me to enjoy."
