Alonso: Everyone lacked grip in qualifying.

      Fernando Alonso failed to make it to the final round of qualifying in Mexico, but believes he got the most out of the car…

      Fernando Alonso (14th): "We tried to get more speed out of the car, but I think that was our maximum. In qualifying everyone was lacking grip. We'll see what happens tomorrow, how the first corners go — the chicanes here are narrow, so you can make up positions there. We'll do everything possible to fight for points."

      Lance Stroll (19th): "In third practice the car looked fine, but in qualifying there was simply no grip. It often happens — in practice there is grip, and in qualifying we go out on track and see that the situation has changed. We'll see what happens tomorrow. It's clear that starting from the back won't make the race easy."
