According to the results of the qualifying in Spa, Alpine riders showed the fifth and sixth fastest time …
Esteban Ocon (5th): “Bye to the team, I am very happy with the result. Today everything worked out, the team made the necessary conclusions after training and did a great job with the car.
Fifth place is my best qualifying result this season, so it’s a bit of a shame that I got a penalty at the start for losing positions, but we have what it takes to get a decent result tomorrow.
Fernando will start third and I will do everything I can to come back and earn points for the team. I’m looking forward to the race, I hope the public will like it.”
Fernando Alonso (6th): “I’m happy with our performance, both cars qualified in the top six. During the session we helped each other with a slipstream several times – and it worked.
Tomorrow, just like in Canada, I will fight in the top three at the start. I want to have a clean race to turn this position into a good finish at the finish.
We know there are some fast cars starting behind, it’s important to finish the race in the top five or six.”
