Jenson Button found it difficult seeing Fernando Alonso in such anguish after his Mexican Grand Prix retirement. F1
Alonso has retired from five races this year, including three of the last five, with a suggestion that car breakdowns have cost him upwards of 60 points.
But at least the double former World Champion only has two more races in which to cross his fingers as he will then move on to join Aston Martin for 2023 and beyond.The 2009 World Champion said he found it hard to see “So it’s amazing how quickly you can shift from having a great race to suddenly disaster, and he had an issue with his power unit and then it finally let go coming into Turn 1 once he had already been overtaken by a couple of people and one being his team-mate , which you never like as a driver.
Button feels the reliability troubles are particularly excruciating for a driver who is still showing as much “passion” for the sport as when he won his two World Championships in 2005 and 2006.
