In Paul Ricard, Fernando Alonso reached the final of qualifying and his teammate Esteban Ocon dropped out in the second session…
Fernando Alonso (7th): “The weekend was not easy for us, but in qualifying I got a good starting position.
In practice I wasn’t happy with the balance, we tried to improve it all weekend, but in the long series on Friday we had a good pace, we’ll see if it allows us to recoup.
An important factor is monitoring the condition of the tires – here they quickly overheat and granulate, which will be a real test in the heat. The time loss in the pit lane is one of the highest in the season here, so the optimal strategy is one pit stop.
Esteban Ocon (12th): “Not the best day, I didn’t get the best out of the car. There are a few areas to focus on before the start of tomorrow’s race – we’ll take care of that tonight.
Due to the penalties from the opponents, I will start in tenth position and do my best to regain a few more places and earn points, while feeling the support of the French fans. Home games are always special. As always I will give everything.”
