 | Fernando Alonso about the vibration of the Aston Martin car: Let`s be honest - if a driver is fighting for victory, he will spend at least three hours behind the wheel23-05-2026 |
Alonso does not consider the vibrations of the Aston Martin car to be a big problem. Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso is confident he will be able to successfully reach the finish line of the Australian Grand Prix, despite problems with engine vibration in the British team`s cars.
Earlier, Adrian Newey said that due to these vibrations, including those transmitted to the steering wheel, after some time the process of nerve damage and numbness in the hands of riders may begin.
This does not cause pain. And driving the car doesn’t make it any more difficult either. The level of adrenaline in the blood will still block any such pain. Let`s be honest - if a driver is fighting for victory, he will spend at least three hours behind the wheel [through pain].
It seems to me that this [the desire to achieve a good result] covers up any unpleasant sensations behind the wheel of a car. And there are no restrictions because of which you would suddenly stop feeling the car or understanding what you are doing.
Yes, the sensations are unusual. And yes, in principle there shouldn’t be such a problem [with vibration] in the car’s operation. Just as we don’t know what the consequences [for a rider’s health] might be if we deal with this problem for several months. So a solution to this problem must be found, ” Alonso said.
