Fernando Alonso insists “I don’t consider myself unlu🤪cky” after a team radio rant at Imola to the contrary.

The two-time F1 driver’s champion has staggeringly not scored a point in 2025, heading into this weekend’s Mo🗹naco Grand Prix, the eighth round.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Aston Martin driver Alonso promisingly started fifth last time 🔯out at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix - but finished 11th.

“We ar🐷e so unlucky. Everything is wrong for us this year,” he fruᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚstratingly said via team radio.

Alonso was asked in Monaco whether a ritual or a lucky mascot could reve𝕴rse his f🐼ortune.

“I don't ♚believe in all those things,” he responded.

“It's whꦇat we deserve, probably. We've been unlucky many moments, I think this year we've been uncompetitive, which is the unluckiest part of everything.

“When you are more competitive, any strategy works, any 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Safety Car is a small problem.

“But when you are not competitive, anything thꦗat is not in your way, it takes you out of the points.

“But in seven races, I think, races that we had the possibility to score points, many things happened, we went off in the gravel, my𒉰 mistake in Australia.

“Then in China, with three disqualified cars, we could score points. But we had five on the🎶 brakes, already in lap two, and we had to retire the car.

“We've been uncompetitive for many races. One race that we are competitive [at Imola], and we꧒ will be in the points for merit for the very first time, there is this first Safety Car.

“In the first six races, when we were P12, nothing happe🐼ned for 60 laps, and we finished P12.

“So these kinds of things are always frustrating in the car, but this is a very private conversation with m💦y engineer and my team.

“We do the debriefs, we say hಞow uncompetitive we are, we say how competitive we certainly are in Imola, and we could score points, we spend the whole Sunday on the strategy, looking for these firsꦦt points, and things like that.

“You send a message 🦹specifically to them, a very private conversation, when you don't know the context of everything.

“🦂You just put the radio, it makes no sense, butꦯ this is the normal rule for Formula One.

“But I don't consider myself unlucky.

“I mean, two times world champion, two times Le Mans winner, WEC champion,ꦦ 24-hour Day🎐tona champion…

“So if I'm unlucky, I cannot i꧂magin🅘e the other 18 or 17 drivers here!”

The 2025 Indy 500 is this weekend, an iconic American race which 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso has participated in several times.

Cadillac, set to become Formula 1’s 11th team in 2026, have left the door ajar to an IndyCar driver jumping across. Colton Her♛ta is frequently touted.

Alonso was asked what skillsℱ an IndyCar driver must acquire to enter F1.

“I think here it's more about having the right package, the 🌳rig🔯ht car,” he said.

“Not m💜aking mistakes, to have a good organisation with experience.

“The driver side is a little bit easier, I think all the IndyCar driv🌸ers know how to drive cars fast.

“Here 90% of yo🌞ur success is dictated by the package you're dri🌠ving.

“So it's more about the team preparation. But it's going to be hopefully a good opportunity for them with the change of regulations, everyone starts from zero and it's a goodജ moment to enter the sport.”

Aston Martin are set to bring Adrian Newey to the F1 paddoc♔k wearing their colours for the first time this𓂃 weekend in Monaco.

The scale of Newey’s work might soon be💎come clear 🍰to him.

Alonso described: “The feeling is still a difficult car 𝓡to drive for sure, a little bit inconsistent…”
