Alonso: “Ferrari must improve its decision-making procedures”

Fernando Alonso said his team, Ferrari, needs to improve its decision-making procedures in order to avoid situations like today, where both cars crashed out after Q1 during qualifying for the British Grand Prix.

Both the Spaniard and teammate Kimi Raikkonen failed to reach Q2 after going out on slicks shortly before rain hit Silverstone in the closing stages of the first qualifying session.

Alonso 19th and Raikkonen 20th at the end of Q1. It is the first time that Alonso has not reached Q2 since the 2010 Monaco Grand Prix.

The two-time world champion admitted that Ferrari needs to work on speeding up its communication process.

“We know there are two Williams and two Ferraris out in Q1, so there is definitely something wrong compared to the other teams, because when both cars are out in a session like this it's because you were at the wrong time with the wrong tyre.” , said Alonso.

“This is something we need to look at. It is true that it has happened other times, and many times we have been saved by luck.”

“We have to do better next time. I think larger teams have longer processes than smaller teams, so we need to speed up some of the communications and some of the things we do.”

“I think that apart from Rosberg and Hamilton there are no other contenders for the world champion title this year,” he said.
