Fernando Alonso once again cut a frustrated figure after a mechanical issue forced him to retire his car from the Italian Grand Prix.
The Spaniard has plenty of experience driving Formula 1 cars and knows better than most when something feels off with the one he is driving. So there would have been some alarm in the Alpine garage when, early in the race, he voiced his concerns over team radio.
He asked his engineers if there was a problem with the energy recovery and deployment system on his A522. After a brief check he was told that nothing concerning had been spotted, to which Alonso – clearly unconvinced – simply replied: "Wow."
