Alonso finally in the points at Silverstone

Fernando Alonso had to wait until the 9th Grand Prix of the season to achieve a top ten finish. The pilot McLaren took the point of 10th place at Silverstone where his team was playing at home.

However, the double world champion was far from overflowing with enthusiasm after the finish of the British GP. “This point feels good even if it's not enough of a result to celebrate. It's still satisfactory for the team. I hope this precedes more top ten finishes”, declared the Asturian on Canal+.

The Spaniard was particularly annoyed by the start of the race where he accused the Lotus drivers of having caused contact between him and his teammate Jenson Button who retired following this accident. “ It was an incredible start. The two Lotuses were very aggressive at turn 3 (du Village). I spun and hit Jenson Button. It would take a little common sense. »
