Fernando Alonso, the Alpine-Renault driver, is looking forward to the next race in Spain after he finished eighth in the most recent race in the 2021 season which was the Portuguese Grand Prix on May 2.
“We felt competitive already from FP1, we were fifth in FP2, we could have been third in FP3," Alonso said.
"So it remains a little bit a mystery what happened in qualifying where I felt not comfortable, I felt not the same grip as any other session, unfortunately. And that compromised a little bit my race.
“But overall I’m very happy with the weekend in general and the step forward by the performance of the car. I think it was a good Sunday for us as Alpine being competitive more than any other race so far this year.”
Mercedes are placed at the top of the Constructors' Championship standings and they were followed by Red Bull Racing-Honda and McLaren-Mercedes respectively.
