Alonso was 9º, saving the points in a difficult weekend for his car, which suffered on the straights of
Monza.

After this… time to celebrate!

“Today I had to fight a lot. We had a lot of pace and we took care of the tires, but they had top speed. Luckily they made a mistake in the corner, I took advantage of it and after that I was able to do my race.”

“I had a bit of a problem at the end, but I was comfortable with the difference.”

“It was the most we could hope for today. I couldn’t get close to Max, partly because I had to overtake Charles and Carlos and then I lost on tires. Then I had to push a lot.”

“I feel more comfortable in the car with this setup.”

“It was very hard. I spent the whole race battling with the Red Bulls and that made me pay a price with the rear tyres, but well I had the battle with Leclerc and it was a pleasure because I had fun.”

“We have to keep working on our race pace, but compared to Zandvoort we have taken a step forward.”
