Fernando Alonso: The race will be difficult for us.
Fernando Alonso qualified 11th at the Red Bull Ring and hopes to fight for points. His Aston Martin teammate, Lance Stroll, was eliminated in the first part of qualifying...
Fernando Alonso (11th): “I am quite satisfied with 11th place and being so close to the final session, and tomorrow I’ll have a chance to fight for points.
Handling our car on this track is not easy. The race will be tough for us, especially in hot conditions, so we need to approach our strategy selection wisely and flexibly. If everything goes well, we’ll have a chance to recover and score points.”
Lance Stroll (16th): “In practice, the car was fast, so I was hoping for more in qualifying, but the weather changed and we lost pace.
I think the higher temperatures had an impact—in these conditions, the car didn’t perform as well, and we had issues with grip and balance. Tomorrow will be tough, but we’ll see what we can do.”
