Alonso: “3rd place Manufacturers will be complicated”

With the podium of Valtteri Bottas during the last German Grand Prix, Williams dislodged the Team Ferrari from 3rd place in the Constructors' championship. A situation that seems difficult to turn around for the Spaniard Fernando Alonso, once again not helped by his teammate Kimi Räikkönen, and who also notes the renewed form of McLaren.

“There's no doubt that Williams is in good form now, and they've been very competitive since Canada, even if they didn't really show their potential in Montreal, explained the double world champion after the Hockenheim race. In Canada, Austria, Silverstone and here (in Germany, Editor’s note), they've been out of reach, so we really need to do a better job if we want to contend with them. We also have to look behind, since McLaren is now very fast. »

With the German pilot Nico Hulkenberg (Force India), Fernando Alonso remains the only driver to have scored in every race in 2014. A series that the former resident of Renault will want to continue next Sunday in Hungary.
