The unfortunate timing between pitstops and the arrival of the safety cars during the Dutch Grand Prix left Fernando Alonso "angry with the world, us, and everybody", according to Aston Martin chief trackside officer Mike Krack.
Alonso's attempt to make progress from 10th on the grid was halted as he was mobbed by Alex Albon, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, and Yuki Tsunoda in the opening corners of the first lap. Frozen in lockstep with the rest, as he sat within DRS range of the Mercedes, Alonso made his first stop at the end of lap 18.
