Alonso: “Why don’t you dream about the podium?”

Fernando Alonso embroidered again. In normal conditions we have been maxing out the car’s performance this season, but in the dry we finished seventh or eighth. But when the weather reduced the mechanical differences between the cars and gave more weight to the needles, Asturias shined. This his Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix, in complex and very delicate conditions, the driver used his tires dry in his Q3 and wet his some areas, running the wire with constant modifications. I had to. After Leclerc, Perez, Hamilton and Sainz, before Norris.

For this reason, Fernando Alonso couldn’t hide his satisfaction when he got out of his car and joined the ‘DAZN F1’.

“I’m very happy. The top five is unbelievable, but it wasn’t very fun to drive in these conditions today, especially in Q3 where we’ll be on dry tires so we’ll see how the grip is a little bit. You have to guess, in fact it was too easy to make a mistake and very difficult to get the most out of the car.I was able to finish in the top 5 in a difficult but saved time trial and it was very I’m happy,” said the Asturian native, who was very happy with his result.

His main objective is clearly to help Alpine defend their lead over McLaren in the Constructors’ World Championship and retain fourth place. “My two teammates are marking each other, with Norris (6th) and myself (5th) in front and Ricciardo (17th) and Ocon (18th) behind, so we’re covering them. But Fernando dreams of something else for this appointment.Singapore always has at least one ‘safety car’ and he , knowing that by capitalizing on the problems and contacts suffered by the drivers before him.

“I wish I could finish in the top five. Bad news because Max is behind and effectively means starting 6th (laughs) but let’s see what happens. Here in Singapore there are always accidents and incidents. So we’re not too far away. Why don’t you dream of a podium?” concludes Fernando.
