Alonso finished a lacklustre eighth at Suzuka as Aston Martin continue to s𝔍truggle to replicate their early season heroics. 

The Spaniard seemed frustrated over team radio, venting to his team after his first pit st꧋op.

He said: “You’ve thrown me to the lio♋ns by pitting me that ea🅷rly mate, unbelievable.”

He followed it up later in the race during his battle with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon by saying: “He’s pulling away on 💯the stra🔯ight, so think of something!”

Sp🅘eaking after the race in Japan, Alonso explained why the aforementioned sound bites were “completely out of context”. 

“It’s the ▨same, the classic thing, the classic FOM radio, completely out of context,” Alonso said.

“I’m not sure exactly what other drivers can say when they are behind a car that is slower and on the straight they are pulling away even when you op🐼en the DRS.

“Maybe the other drivers say ‘I’m okay, I’m happy to be behind’, but I 🐻prefer to be motivated to overtake them on track, I was slower even with DRS open, I called for a differ🅠ent strategy, we stopped, we beat them, that’s the way we do it, we beat everyone on track even if the radio is the highlight.”

Despite only finishing eighth, Alonso🧔 was pleased with Aston Martin’🗹s race pace.

“I think the positive is that the pace of the car was surprisingly good,” he added. “I didn’t expect to be as fast as Ferrari and Mꦗercedes to be honest.

“I think with a more optimised strategy maybe we could have finished sixth or seventh, and he didn’t look that way yesterday after qualifying. So the Sunday was ve💦ry strong for us and we need to understandꦛ why.”
