The Alonso phenomenon
Alonso, who at 41 years old started the season with a third place in Bahrain, will accompany Checo Pérez on the front row, with the podium again as his main goal.
"It's been a good weekend for us. The car has performed very well, we'll see what we can do from here. I'm confident, the car is good and the race is our strong point," said the world champion in 2005 and 2006.
"I don't think we can compete with the Red Bulls, but it's not our goal either. The important thing is to get points for the Constructors' World Cup," added the Spaniard.
