I am a passionate and knowledgeable Formula 1 fan who has watched the sport since age five, watching every single race. Having karted competitively throughout my teens, I understand what it takes to be a racing driver, and every aspect of motorsports fascinates me. I am now studying sports journalism at the University of Gloucestershire with the hopes of one day landing a dream role in motorsport. As well as English, I speak Spanish fluently after living there for some time when I was younger.
Fernando Alonso was the fourth driver to crash at the rainy Interlagos circuit on Sunday qualifying. The Spaniard crashed heavily in the third sector of the track. His teammate, Lance Stroll, crashed in Q2, which sent Max Verstappen out of the session. The Dutchman will start from P17 for today's Grand Prix.
Alonso's spin was caused by the rainy conditions, as he put the power down too early. There are just a few minutes left in the final qualifying session. Only eight cars will come out on track, as both Aston Martin's crashed in separate incidents throughout the session. The team will need to work hard to put both cars back together before the race later on today.
