Home hero Alonso ended Friday’s two practice sessions within two-tenths of fellow double world champion 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen, who set a searing pace in his Red Bull. 

After describing FP1 and FP2 as “productive”, Alonso is expecting the competitiꦺve order to remain tight heading into qualifying. 

“It’s so tight that I think one or two tenths will p𒁏ut you in a completely different spot in the classification,” he said. “So don’t pay too much attention to the times.

“We went through all the programmes that we had before the free practice, which is💦 the good thing. Learning about the tyres. 

“The track is a little slowe🃏r maybe than what we predicted, so there’s sti🌌ll more time to find, more tweaks on the set-up, but it was a productive Friday.”

Aston Martin have introduced sever🍃al updates to their AMR23 ch✅allenger this weekend in Barcelona. 

Asked if the new parts are help♌ing the team’s performance, Alonso replied: “They do, they do, abs🌃olutely.

“There is not a new part that we♐ put in the car that♊ is not helping the performance. That’s something that has been always the case with the team from Bahrain. 

“So I’m hꦺappy w🦩ith the upgrades and let’s see tomorrow, when everyone goes to full power, where we are.”
