After qualifying results in Hungary, both cars of the Alpine team were in the top six for the first time in the season…
Esteban Ocon (5th): “I’m happy with the qualifying results and I’m grateful to the team for the hard work over the weekend. I am happy that I was able to repeat my best qualifying result this year.
Lando Norris starts for me, who was a little faster today, but let’s see what the balance of power will be tomorrow in the battle against McLaren.
In the race, on the day the points are played, anything can happen – I experienced it last year. It is difficult to overtake on the Hungarian circuit, but if we can control tire wear and choose the best strategy, there is a chance to go to the summer break with well earned points.”
Fernando Alonso (6th): “It’s great that we both finished in the top six today according to the qualifying results. I was fast on wet and dry surfaces, I felt confident in the first and second part of qualifying – and I was sure I could do better, but in the closing laps of the final several riders were able to get ahead of us.
It’s hard to overtake on the Hungarian circuit, tomorrow I’ll start from the dirty side of the grid, but we’ll see what happens in the end. Today both cars of the team qualified in the top six, tomorrow we will try to earn as many points as possible.”
