However, he immediately warned that “DAZN F1” Mike was a joke and a “tensioning Dutch” strategy. In qualifying, water evened out the mechanical differences. Alonso was able to fight Max’s Red Bull.

Saturday has no points. On Sunday we can make mistakes on the first lap and all the good work will be done. We need to concentrate, “pointed out the Obied man, who outperformed Esteban Okon for more than a second and a half. teammate.

“Ocon had a problem with the FP3. My car was handled well and I was confident to push. It improved by a second each time I went out on the track and I don’t know which grip I would have in the next corner. It’s a difficult condition. I know it’s going to be more than the previous one, but I don’t know how much, so I have to improvise, but it worked, “he commented on the French.
