Fernando Alonso suffered his sixth DNF of the 2022 F1 season in the AbuDhabiGP. The outgoing Alpine driver said the retirement perfectly summed up his season. “Unfortunately on car 14, always these things happen.'
Asked if he felt sad his time with Alpine was over or glad the season was at an end, Alonso replied: “I’m happy that it’s finished.
“As you know, there are facts that this year have been against us a little bit in car 14. Six DNFs, but also [ones] they don't count as a DNF but they were DNF, like Australia, the qualifying problem. The sprint race in Austria, I didn't even start the race, and things like that. “So I think there are nine or 10 reliability issues, which at this level is obviously not acceptable. And they all happen to my car.
“So I'm happy to finish and start on Monday the seat fit with Aston, Tuesday the tyre test, and hopefully a new project with more luck.” Alonso made his F1 comeback with Alpine in 2021 after spending two seasons out of the series, marking his third stint with the Enstone-based team. He raced for the outfit under its Renault guise from 2003-06 and 2008-09, winning the world title in 2005 and 2006.“I will always think of Alpine or Renault with good memories. We won the two championships, I spent nine years of my life in Formula 1 with Renault or Alpine.
