Like by Jenson Button yesterday, Fernando Alonso was able to benefit from a McLaren Reliable MP4-31 this Tuesday in Barcelona, ​​Catalonia. The former pilot Renault et Ferrari completed 119 laps and allowed his team to accumulate numerous and valuable data.

“Most of the laps we did today were for aerodynamic and reliability tests: brake temperature, water temperature, etc.
explains Alonso. For a pilot, these are things that are not very exciting, so I'm looking forward to making some set-up changes and riding with different fuel levels to fully enjoy the ride. I enjoyed the day, but I think there are the performance we need to unlock. »

The double world champion also believes that the McLaren can hope to benefit from one of the best chassis on the grid. “ Achieving this goal can be achievable, comments Alonso on the discipline's website. Maybe for European races. »

Finally, let us recall that Honda is going to reshuffle its internal organization chart, with the replacement of Yasuhisa Arai by Yusuke Hasegawa.
