Fernando Alonso (did not start) : No Score
From bad to worse ! This time (like Vandoorne in Bahrain), Fernando didn’t even take the start. The culprit, as always, was the blasted engine and its electronics. The only consolation: he had nothing to hope for, seeing how many seconds the McLaren were down (more than 35kph slower than Mercedes!) on this hard accelerating and hard braking circuit. Nevertheless, by his own admission, his flying lap in Q1 was quasi perfect. Let’s hope it'll also be that way for Indy testing…
