Alonso: Barcelona will show our weaknesses

      At a press conference in Barcelona, Fernando Alonso was skeptical about his chances at a home Grand Prix.…

      Fernando Alonso: "We have improved compared to the start of the season, which we demonstrated in Imola and Monaco, but these are not demonstration races. In addition, most of the teams brought new items to this stage, to Spain, so let's see how things turn out. Barcelona will show our weaknesses and our place in the balance of power.

      Next year, the second Spanish stage will appear on the calendar – the city circuit in Madrid will make its debut, but I hope that Barcelona will stay. It's great that new places and countries are emerging, but we must preserve the legendary tracks where Formula 1 history was written. Barcelona has been hosting races and tests for decades. All teams choose Barcelona when they need to conduct tests. And we'll be back here next winter, as the teams have chosen this particular track for the first car tests in 2026."
