The battery charge timing cost Alonso 'a couple of places' in BritishGP qualifying, as the Spaniard had to settle for seventh. F1
driver Alonso entered Saturday's qualifying session for the British Grand Prix looking to replicate his run to the front row of the grid in damp conditions in Canada two weeks ago.
The Spaniard managed to cross the line with three seconds remaining, theoretically giving him the best of the conditions for the final lap in Q3, but had already used all of the battery deployment on his car on the previous effort. "But then obviously, you need to start timing to cross the line as late as possible in the session, but with the battery full as well, so you need to recharge on the lap before.
Alonso said it meant his best lap was"like two laps before the end", making it"very early in the session to really perform better."But he felt it was roughly where Alpine is set to end up in the race anyway, meaning he was not too disheartened by the result.
