- Fernando Alonso’s steering wheel came out in its place during FP2 in Bahrain
- The 43 -year -old man was able to attach the wheel before crawling towards the stands
- He finished the session in P15 and could only perform 19 program laps
Fernando Alonso underwent a bizarre problem with his steering wheel during the second training session in Bahrain on Friday.
Alonso reported a loss of power in its steering wheel earlier in the session, before he finally fell as he turned into the last corner.
After leaving a McLaren past, Alonso tried to turn his wheel to the right while he was preparing to start a thrust tour, but was forced to go directly to the turn 14.
Alonso told his engineer Andrew Vizard: “Change the steering wheel, there is a problem with the steering wheel. It goes out.
After finding himself in the runoff, Alonso managed to find the wheel, before shining his AMR25 in the stands.
The team then replaced the parts of the management system and returned Alonso on the right track to complete its training session.

The Spaniard could only transport his Aston Martin until P15, while his teammate launched Stroll managed a disappointing 19th place.
Alonso has been unusually over-performed by his teammate for a teammate this season, who leads the veteran in the 10-point pilots to any.
Meanwhile, Aston Martin seated seventh in the classification of manufacturers and seek to have another season in the midfield.
Alonso, 43, has another year on his contract with the team. However, the president of Honda Racing Koji Watanabe recently revealed that the new engine partner of Aston Martin will have his say in their range of pilots.
Japanese manufacturers are expected to return to sport in 2026, when Alonso and Stroll contracts expire.
Regarding the programming of Aston Martin’s driver, Watanabe told Japan Times last week: “We will continue to express our opinions as Honda to decide drivers for 2026 and beyond.
“Obviously, the team had the last word to decide which drivers join the team. But the situation will be the same (as if Honda has received motors to Red Bull) where we will have our say.
