Fernando Alonso was left confused by his Australian Grand Prix crash, which he described as “unlucky” and coming “from nowhere”. The Aston Martin driver spun 180 degrees after losing traction on the kerb at Turn 7 and made heavy contact with the wall. Despite being one of the faster drivers in the midfield, Alonso’s car lost control suddenly, causing a Safety Car to be called upon.
Alonso believes he did not do anything wrong and is already analyzing the incident to try and understand what went wrong. He was surprised by the loss of traction on the slippery painted kerb, which caught him off guard. The driver expressed confidence in his team’s performance, saying they were “in the mix” with other midfield teams.
The crash comes after a promising start to the season for Alonso, who had gained confidence from the pace shown during pre-season testing and the weekend at Albert Park. Despite this setback, he remains optimistic about the team’s chances in the future.
