Alonso, confident: “In rhythm we are more competitive than in a lap”

Date:

Fernando Alonso had a good chance Monza to shine in the classification against his former tifosi. The penalties of sainz, Verstappen Y Perez they gave him a chance to fight even in the second row after being superior in free training in Mercedes of Russell and very similar to McLaren of Norris. However, he admitted that he had made one “Q3 disastrous”, something that did not erase his smile in the presence of the Spanish press present in the circuit, including MD. The man from Oviedo has full confidence in the performance of his car and ensured that at race pace the single-seater was stronger this weekend than a lap.

The man from Oviedo knows that Sainz and Perez will come from behind and their race must be based on overtaking Ricciardo Y gasly fight with Norris so he thinks it is a possible 7th or 8th position. He wants to score points for 11 races in a row and wants to survive another clean race.

ITS DIFFICULT Q3

“In the first attempt I went a little too far in the corner, but always on the track, but I dropped the lap because I was three tenths worse than in Q2 and I said: I will save this set of tires for the race. , which is only They have done two corners, and I was going to do it in the second test. But in the second test I went out in turn 7 apparently and they took my lap. So the truth is that the whole Q3 that I did was a bit of a disaster . And no, I feel bad. Anyway, without the cancellation of the lap he was 8th, so we expected more. The 8th and 11th (Ocon) were a bad time for us. I’ll start with the 7 (with penalties of other drivers).

THE GOAL IS TO REACH LANDO NORRIS

Go to Norris? Yes, definitely where Norris is, yes. Hopefully we can pass Gasly and Ricciardo at some point in the race and fighting Norris will be the goal, or always will be, even last week at Zandvoort running away from him we got to him so I don’t see why not. But hey, three cars were coming from the last row of the grid very fast and we knew they would catch us”.

WANT TO ADD

“We have 10 races in the points and tomorrow we have to do the 11th”.

THE ALPINE IS MORE COMPETITIVE IN A RACE THAN A TURN

“This weekend we seemed to be more competitive in the race than the time trial lap, or like it was on Friday. The way we’re going today, I’m confident that tomorrow we’ll have a good car. We’ve scored points all round of the last 10 races, sometimes starting last and changing engines… tomorrow I start 7th and I have to be bad not to score again”.

I DON’T WANT A CRAZY RACE

“I don’t think we need a crazy race. Also, all of us who entered Q3 used all sets of tires, so it better not be a crazy race because those who are not in Q3 I think will have a slight advantage. I think a calm race, trying to pass Daniel, Gasly and fighting with Norris will ensure us 7th or 8th, even if Carlos (Sainz), Pérez, etc. pass us.

THE BANNER IN HIS HONOR IN FRONT OF HIS BOX

“What did I feel when I saw him? I didn’t see him, so I didn’t feel anything (laughs). I’m excited, logically, that they remember you and will always have this love that I have in Italy. I feel like it’s my second home here .”
