Esteban and Fernando score first points of the season after eventful Emilia Romagna Grand Prix
Comunicato Stampa disponibile solo in lingua originale.
Alpine #F1 Team scored its first championship points of the 2021 FIA Formula 1 World Championship after a challenging race, which led to #estebanocon finishing ninth and #fernandoalonso tenth in an incident-filled #emiliaromagnagrandprix.
Teams were faced with a difficult decision before the start of the race after a sudden downpour of rain an hour before lights out left some parts of the circuit extremely wet. Esteban opted for the full Wet tyres with Fernando on the Intermediates. On the laps to the grid, Fernando ran wide out of Turn 7, clipping the wall, meaning he had to change front wing.
In slippery conditions, both drivers dropped outside of the top ten with Esteban switching to the Intermediates on lap two under the Safety Car.
Things began to stabilise and, as the track started to dry, dry tyres looked the best option; Esteban fitting Mediums on lap 27 and Fernando following suit a lap later.
Esteban switched to the Softs on lap 31, before a red flag brought the race to a stop following a collision between Valtteri Bottas and George Russell on the entry to turn two.
The race resumed with Fernando twelfth and Esteban thirteenth, the Frenchman switching to Mediums during the red flag stoppage, for the sprint to the end. Both drivers immediately gained a few places and duelled for the final points-scoring position.
Esteban was heaping the pressure on Kimi Räikkönen for ninth but could not make the breakthrough on the experienced Finn. Fernando was just behind as he looked to sneak his way into the points. At the flag, Esteban held onto tenth with Fernando narrowly adrift.
Both drivers inherited a place after the chequered flag, following a post-race penalty for Räikkönen. Esteban scoring two points in ninth with Fernando returning to the Formula 1 points for the first time since the 2018 Singapore Grand Prix in tenth.
