Asked by Sky Sports F1’s Martin Brundle if he could “win a race or two” this season, Alonso replied: “I think so.”
“I don’t know where it could go. It seems that we have a car that is not the fastest on the straights. We have to improve that, but we are very good in the corners. So I would say the slowest speeds in the championship, let’s say Monaco, Budapest, Singapore. On these types of circuits, I think we have our main hope at the moment.”
