F1, Fernando Alonso: "Podium not impossible"
The driver of the Aston Martin Fernando Alonso celebrated his third row in Bahrain: "If you had asked me a week ago or yesterday I would have said that the podium would be impossible for me, now, however, it is no longer so and it is good news", explained the Asturian after the first official practice of the season.
"I am very satisfied, becauseé it was unexpected this performance of the car. We had ok winter tests, but something was missing on the race pace and also in qualifying".
"Free practice went well, but normally we know that l’ we are a little bit lighter and more aggressive with the engine than others. In qualifying we see the reality; and being in the leading group è a surprise for us".
