The famous Plan of Fernando Alonso did not exist, it was a cryptoplan, mere virtuality. “It was a viral thing, without a clear objective”, admitted the Asturian pilot in an act of sponsorship of his sponsor Finetwork with the press in Barcelona. On the eve of the start of the Spanish F1 GP in Montmeló, the Alpine driver reviewed his start to the 2022 World Championship, in which he is 16th, with only 2 points. A poor background that he considers insufficient for "the good performances we have done." In Barcelona he hopes that he will start to change his luck.
“It was a viral thing that hit us on social networks. If the team had established a plan with clear objectives, we could say if they are being met. But everyone got on the wave, just like if I put a photo on social networks. I could not say if it is being fulfilled because there is nothing to talk about and there is no clear objective”.
“Let's see if we can complete a good weekend in Barcelona. We have put in good performances but on Sunday we have never completed the points we deserved or those of us who had worked for it. I'm happy with the start of the season, not with the points, but with the performance. We have taken a step forward, last year we were 9th or 10th going into Q3 and this year I think we have been comfortably between 5th and 8th. We have taken a step forward. In Australia we could have started on the front row, that was unthinkable last year. Now, to see the evolutions during the year”.
“Let's see how fast we can go. All the teams usually introduce novelties in the cars and you can change the order. In theory it should go well, I hope we have a quiet weekend. My goal is to score points. I can't say in what position. In Australia we could still fight for the podium, under normal conditions, in Imola and Miami it was between 7th and 8th, we move in this band, between the top 7 and 8. Hopefully the podium will come soon. The number 100 is close (it has 98)”.
“Using a football simile, we have played very well but we have tied all the games or we have not won any, so zero points. This has to change. Over 22 races those points have to be added up. Looking at the first five races, we are between 5th and 8th we have moved in the first part of the year, and hopefully we can be in that mix again.
"I haven't talked to any team. We'll see after the summer, which is what he had in mind since the preseason. The new rules always put the teams in an order, different from the one they were in, and see the chances of the teams in the coming years. That will be the priority."
“I will see him in Monaco, I have it organized. I don't think there is any favorite in this final, especially seeing Madrid in this Champions League, changing the games in 5 minutes. Rather trust what he did in recent games. The 14th title? Hopefully. It's a good number."
