The improvements work and the Asturian will go happy to Silverstone having shown that “the new package has potential” if “at least it is already the same or better” as the previous version of the car.
«The truth is that I didn't know very well whether it was possible or not. We have had a rare weekend in terms of benefits. Already in Q1 I found the rhythm of the car, I have put another five tires after that time and I have only improved one tenth. Happy, we leave seventh tomorrow in a circuit that says a lot about the cars. Aerodynamics is Silverstone's strong point, ”he began.
Alonso was asked if he can see his team's game on Saturday night. «I didn't remember, what time is it? 22:00 in Spacea little late already … the first part, let's hope that he is sentenced in the first part and can sleep quietly, ”he said about the Real Madrid-Borussia Dortmund of the quarterfinals of Club World Cup.
«It is difficult to follow here the cars in front of you. I hope we can be at the points, they will come strong from behind. It will be an interesting battle. The wheels were very hard before, coming with a softer tire will open a different strategy. Tomorrow I suppose it will be what we try, ”he said.
Alonso's goal and his praise to Verstappen
«Yesterday we had doubts. We doubt whether to go out this morning with a car with improvements and another without. Every time you introduce improvements, two or three races are needed to understand them. If at least it is already the same or better in the first race, the new package has potential. I hope that as in Austria Some of those in front play bowling in the first curve and win some position there. I hope to be in the top 10 that is the goal.
«When he has a car similar to that of others, you know that he will be in pole. He has not won as many times as Hamilton, but the best is him, as he demonstrates today again, ”Alonso concluded, surrendering to Max Verstappen After its spectacular turn to scratch a tenth more than the McLaren and go out in first position in this Sunday's race in the Formula 1 2025 World (16:00 Spanish time).
