Ferrari must be smarter for Alonso

Fernando Alonso is expected to be the hero in Spain and arrives in Barcelona with the firm intention of continuing the momentum of the podium won in China during the last Grand Prix. But like Sergio Pérez, the former pilot Renault thinks Pirelli tires are too conservative. “We are struggling a little too much, says Alonso. It's a combination of factors. The grip was not important today, the track being less rubberized than usual. In addition, we have less support than before. We have a lot of work ahead of us to optimize the balance of the car and get the most out of it, even if the circumstances are not in our favor. We will have to be smarter than the others in our changes and adapt to them in time for qualifying. »

The pilot Ferrari finished twice in fourth place today, each time ahead of his teammate Kimi Räikkönen who was notably the first to use the new single central mast rear wing.
