90 minutes before start: commentary by Fernando Alonso

Fernando Alonso starts seventh in Abu Dhabi and hopes to gain points…

Fernando Alonso: “I don’t think the goal of beating McLaren in the Constructors’ Championship is realistic, but we will try. I’ll try to be aggressive on the first lap because Lando Norris will start just one row ahead, so we’ll see.

Race pace, tire strategy – there are a lot of unknown variables due to the fact that we didn’t manage to work well in the second practice. Given all this, it is too optimistic to expect to finish ahead of McLaren.

This weekend is somewhat reminiscent of the sprint format, as we were unable to work properly on a long series of laps. We are prepared to be extremely transparent in our strategy choices and to respond to opportunities. The last race of the season is just around the corner – let’s just have fun. Our team has had a fantastic 2023 and we want to end the year with a strong result.”
