“It was a good day for us as we were able to complete our program. There were only a few red flags, but it was the same for everyone, Alonso told the media after the end of the first two practice sessions in the Principality. – We did enough laps to be confident in the car, which is very important here. The feeling was good, the car was easy to drive, which is always desirable at a track like this. So I am satisfied.

“We are very confident because this car has only given us positives since the beginning of the year and today was no different. I enjoyed the ride, I had fun and I’m ready for tomorrow. Let’s see what happens. I think that everything is possible tomorrow, but I definitely think that we are among the candidates for the pole position,” added the Spaniard.
