🗣️'With the rules as they are at the moment, we had old tyres to do today's qualifying.' Alonso has described Aston Martin's sprint qualifying performance at the F1 AustrianGP as a 'miracle'.
Fernando Alonso wants the Formula 1 sprint format rules to change after he reckoned mixed conditions in Austria created an unlevel playing field to make Aston Martin’s result a “miracle”.
In the 12-minute SQ1 session, drivers split between intermediate, medium and soft Pirelli compounds. But cooler conditions left the more responsive soft tyre as the preferred option. Alonso reckons this left rival teams who underperformed on Friday with an unfair advantage, so he has called on the rule-makers to close this supposed hole in the regulations.He said: “I think to be in the top seven, top eight with both cars is kind of a miracle because with the rules as they are at the moment, we had old tyres to do today qualifying.
“But with these conditions, obviously the regulations allow you to use any dry tyres. So, there is a big disadvantage for the guys that reached the top 10 yesterday because we used all our softs. So not very happy with the rules.Alonso added that Aston Martin, which is fightingfor second in the 2023 constructors’ championship, should not be left exposed to qualifying behind theoretically slower teams.
