Never give the lion for dead when he sleeps. When he looked struggling up to Q2, that’s it Fernando Alonso He sensationally woke up in Q3 by placing an excellent sixth time – in any case behind Ocon, penalized and at the bottom of the grid – in front of both Mercedes which earned him the third place on the grid. Another golden opportunity after that of Canada (there he was even in the front row in the rain), which this time cannot be capitalized to help Alpine to open even more the gap in the standings with McLaren.
“We will have a good chance tomorrow – said Alonso – When you start in front everything is easier and we hope to take the opportunity we have. In Canada we started second and did everything wrong. Starting from the strategy, with which we did not take advantage of the Virtual Safety Cars, to the problems with the battery. Tomorrow we want a smooth race, then we’ll see where we are. Realistically I think 5th or 6th is our position. Mercedes is strong in the race and Verstappen flies here, so sooner or later he will reach us too ”.
