Fernando Alonso says he is doing what he can to help Aston Martin Formula 1 team-mate Lance Stroll rebuild his confidence after a recent bad run.
The Canadian has scored only 47 points so far in 2023 compared to the 183 of Alonso, and a series of incidents – notably the huge qualifying crash in Singapore that saw him miss the race – have not helped. In Qatar, he caused controversy when TV cameras caught him throwing away his steering wheel and then pushing his physio after he failed to make it out of Q1. Alonso says he is trying to help Stroll to solve his issues in whatever way he can. 'We are all helping him,' said Alonso.
When you lose two or three matches, you start getting stress, and you try to deliver the job in the next one. So we need a clean weekend. 'Qualifying especially is the most intense part of the weekend at the moment, with Q1 being so tight, the field, if you have an unlucky out lap, if you have anything that affects those laps, then the race weekend is compromised when you start at the back. 'So we just need a clean weekend. And hopefully, this one is the starting point.
