'The engine cannot finish the races. It cannot be bad luck when you have to change six or seven engines as we did.' 💬 Fernando Alonso feels Alpine and Renault are 'unprepared' amid further F1 reliability concerns in Mexico ⬇️
Fernando Alonso believes Alpine has been"unprepared" after suffering his latest Formula 1 reliability setback and being forced to retire late in Sunday's Mexican Grand Prix.Alonso had been in contention for a points finish at the Autodromo Hermanos Rodriguez, only to suffer a cylinder failure while running seventh before an eventual loss of power forced him to retire from the race with six laps remaining.
It came as the latest reliability setback for Alonso in what has been a frustrating season that has seen him regularly lament points lost through no fault of his own, claiming to have lost more than 60 points over the season. Speaking in the media pen after the race, Alonso noted that"for car 14, there are always reliability issues", referring to his"It's just amazing that only one or two cars retire at every race, and there is always car 14," said Alonso.
"I blew up five engines this year, I think. The problem in the qualifying in Australia; in Austria, I didn't even start the race because of the blackout. So I think in 19 races, more or less 50% of the races, we haven't scored the points we deserve.Asked if he thought it was simply a case of bad luck for him, Alonso replied:"No, I think we are unprepared."He added:"The engine cannot finish the races.
