Fernando Alonso reveals 'near impossible' task at new Spanish GP circuit

Fernando Alonso is facing significant challenges at the new Madring circuit during the Spanish Grand Prix weekend. He experienced a clutch issue that severely limited his practice time, resulting in him completing only 16 laps compared to other drivers who managed mid-20s. Alonso finished the second practice session in 17th place, but he remains hopeful about qualifying for Q2, especially since Lando Norris encountered his own issues with a gearbox failure.

Alonso emphasized the difficulty of overtaking on the track due to its 22 corners and expressed concerns about the performance of his Aston Martin, particularly regarding the Honda power unit. He acknowledged the need for a perfect execution during the race to maximize his chances, despite the challenges posed by traffic and tire management.
