Fernando Alonso brought out a red flag in FP3Fernando Alonso will have to fight from the back of the grid in Imola
What can Alonso achieve in the grand prix?
Alonso qualified P19 after a deleted lap time from Logan Sargeant promoted the driver from twentieth.
Speaking to F1 TV after qualifying, Alonso explained the issues out on track and their hopes for the rest of the weekend.
“It is hard. Obviously I was lacking laps today [and] we put fuel in the car for qualifying,” he said.
“Eventually I did my best lap on the very first lap, with a lot of fuel in the car, so I think there is more pace, but yeah, [it’s been] one of those days…”
When asked about his chances in the grand prix, Alonso did not seem hopeful.
“I think the weekend is heavily compromised, or basically over.
“But as I said, it’s one of those weekends, one of those days that everything goes wrong, and hopefully [we’ll have] a better weekend in Monaco.”
