“Yes, probably, but I’m just focused on Baku and racing and let’s see. Obviously, the new format of the weekend is extremely complex for a driver. Especially on Saturday morning, the first time you go in the car, you tie the belts and you are into Q1. So that will be a new thing for all of us. Yeah, enough to think," replied Alonso.
The Aston Martin driver insisted that he was simply focused on this weekend’s race in Azerbaijan, as F1 continue to experiment with the new format. He is also looking to continue the momentum that Alonso and Aston Martin have picked up this season.
