Alonso reflects on his P3 start for the Chinese Grand Prix.
Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso has suggested there is more pace to be unlocked in his car despite securing a third-place start at the Chinese Grand Prix . His comments followed a challenging yet successful qualifying session that hinted at further potential improvements.
In the qualifying session for the Chinese Grand Prix, Aston Martin's Fernando Alonso landed a third-place position on the starting grid, behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen and Sergio Perez who will start from first and second, respectively. Despite a minor setback in the initial sectors, Alonso's determination shined through, communicating optimism and a strong belief in his team's capability to enhance performance.
"We didn't give up and kept on pushing through the lap and set a good lap time. The car improved since the Sprint. We made a few setup changes, let's see if we can convert that into points. "I'm extremely happy and proud of the team. We are not giving up and are not in the position we want yet but we keep pushing."
Behind Alonso, McLaren's Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri secured fourth and fifth places, respectively, followed by Ferrari's duo of Charles Leclerc and Carlos Sainz.
