Fernando Alonso wants to march in Brazil. The Asturian, in his penultimate race as a driver for the Alpine team, looks like he has pace and is confident ahead of a sprint at Interlagos in which he has no doubt that he will recover the positions that he could not achieve due to the circumstances of a crazy qualifying .
Because the two-time Formula 1 world champion is aware that it was with the rubber that the single-seater was with, it was fast, and demonstrated leading during good part of Q1 and Q2 the time table of a ‘qualy’ in which it was imposed Kevin Magnussen with el Haas.
But finally could not get the expected result by a Q3 in which only the Dane was right when he had to be right.
“We have lost the opportunity to start higher in the sprint, but the objective will be to recover positions and it will surely be possible”, stated in an official statement.
Alonso knows it was complicated: “In Q3 when it started to rain It was going to be a benefit for those who were already ahead”.
“But I am satisfied with qualifying. We have had difficult conditions, but we were fast. We have adapted with intermediates and with those of dry”.
And sentence with a message: “It was nice to be in first position!”
