Fernando Alonso has a plan: "I will try to make the podium in France" | Formula 1

Fernando Alonso faces his fourth race this Sunday after his return to Formula 1. He does it in the best moment of Alpine and his teammate, an Esteban Ocon who starts from fifth position after his best classification so far this season . The Asturian rider appreciated the Spanish Grand Prix and the level of his teammate in an event for the French team. Spanish GP “It's going to be a pretty tough race. I start from tenth position, with drivers behind with a free choice of tires, as we had in Portugal. Sometimes not being in Q3 with a new tire is a good option, but I think points are possible. The two of us, Ocon and me, will try to help the team. Being in the points again this weekend would be a good sign. We are very happy with the car. ”Adapting to the Alpine“ I feel great, although I have to improve in terms of my driving style and my confidence in the car. There are a couple of things that are going to come to the car to accommodate my style a bit more in the coming weeks, so in two or three races I hope I can be more competitive and get the most out of the car. I hope you see the improvements in the car. In Portugal we were very competitive and in Barcelona we are. I'm proud of the team. "Start strategy" We are going to try to attack, measuring the risks because we don't want to lose a wing or lose the race at the first corner, but we don't want to lose positions either. We will have to attack, there is no other. ”Esteban Ocon's level“ He will try to make the podium in Spain and I in France, that is the agreement. Hopefully he can also gain some position at the start. Let's see if he does very well here and I in France. This is how we switch roles a bit.
