We are only on Friday. Fernando preaches calmly Alonso which, at the end of the free practice of theSaudi Arabia, concludes in second place in the standings behind the Red Bull of world champion Max Verstappen and ahead of Sergio Perez.
Very positive start
If so many wondered how much the peculiarities of the track of Bahrain could have helped Aston Martin, let's say that Jeddah for now makes us understand how much r goesreally strong the AMR23. The Silverstone stable, in addition to placing Alonso in second place in the standings, also sees an excellent Lance Stroll close in seventh place. Super positive result also as regards the race pace, with Alonso lapped at a very good and above all constant pace.
Alonso: "It's another good start"
Already very encouraging results in view of tomorrow, but Alonso preaches calm, as we are only on Friday: "We see. Friday is never really representative. Also in Bahrain we were very strong in Friday free practice, while on Saturday we were in fifth position. So it's always difficult to make a prediction before qualifying, but we tried what we wanted to try with the car. I think there isn't an ideal balance yet, so we need to try and find some more grip tonight. But so far so good. It's another good start."
