F1 | Alpine, Alonso doesn't give up: "The points will be scored tomorrow"

Fernando Alonso is certainly disappointed with his performance in qualifying at Portimao. The Spanish driver finished in thirteenth position, and tomorrow he will start from the seventh row. Compared to his teammate Ocon, who managed to easily enter Q3, the two-time world champion had a few too many difficulties in the early stages of today's official testing, given that for most of the weekend between yesterday and this morning he was in any case managed to equal, without too many difficulties, the times of the French driver.

“It wasn't easy, the weather conditions changed a lot and suddenly – Alonso explained at the end of the day. Between free practice and qualifying we lost a bit of performance, so we need to understand what happened. The good thing is that we will be able to choose the tire to start with and this gives us more possibilities in terms of strategies. The points will be won tomorrow, so it's still all to play for."
