McLaren struggles in final stages, Fernando Alonso reveals: “I wish I were there” – VIDEO. Fernando Alonso was a spectator of the chaos that unfolded at the end of the Australian GP.

It wasn’t just the rookies. Even a driver of Fernando Alonso’s caliber suffered from the difficult conditions that characterized the Australian GP, ending up as a spectator of the chaos that lit up the final stages of Melbourne.

The Aston Martin driver was forced to retire after losing control of his car and crashing heavily into the barriers. The two-time world champion’s accident brought out the Safety Car, which set the stage for an even more unpredictable race finish.

Fernando Alonso, a spectator with regret
Fernando Alonso was answering questions from Spanish journalists while Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri made a double mistake, reigniting the Melbourne Grand Prix. The Aston Martin driver then became the star of a funny moment that quickly spread across social media.

“Now it gets interesting,” Alonso said as the McLarens went off track. “I wish I were there,” he added, referring to the opportunities that might have arisen.

In the end, Aston Martin’s weekend can still be considered positive. Lance Stroll had a somewhat quiet race but finished in sixth place, despite the conditions being far from easy to manage. A good start for the Canadian driver, who confirmed his skill in wet conditions.
