Fernando Alonso believes his battle to keep Sergio Perez behind in the Sao Paulo Grand Prix proved tougher than resisting
Alonso achieved his second podium since June by narrowly beating Perez in a thrilling duel, finishing in third place by a mere 0.053 seconds. He strategically used different driving lines to disrupt the Red Bull’s aerodynamics and deployed his battery power to stay ahead for several laps. Although Perez briefly overtook him at Turn 1 on the penultimate lap, Alonso managed to regain the position on the final lap. The Spaniard stated that his victory in 2005 was easier because there was no DRS system, and tire management was different. Alonso also praised the Interlagos circuit for its layout, which allows for overtaking opportunities and exciting battles, making it a perfect stage for Formula 1 to shine.
