Another podium?

It is not an obligation because he does not have a car that would normally allow him to fight for the podium, but Fernando Alonso continues to believe that it is possible to achieve his 99th podium in F1, the second of its last. stage with the French team, his last with the team where he celebrated two world titles (2005 and 2006).

“Obviously we need some help from the three teams ahead of us, but we always see one or two retirements from one of them. In Austria we saw that Sergio (Perez) and Carlos (Sainz) had problems, so there is a possibility as long as we are in the top five”, he said recently in statements collected by the international media.

“As we saw at Silverstone for a few laps, anything can happen in front of us, the podium is there, so I feel positive. From our point of view, we are quite optimistic in terms of performance and if we have clean weekend , we can add good points”. A good option is the Monza, because the Alpine is very fast on the low load track and has a very fast speed at the start of the course. However, the greater evolution of their rivals means that the French team no longer currently occupies such a strong position.
