“With the weather changing the track at all times, anything could happen; so, in general terms, I am happy to be in the top five with a view to tomorrow’s sprint”, said Alonso, 40, this Friday at Imola, where he starred in historic battles with the seven-time German world champion Michael Schumacher, whom he would end up dethroning.
“The car felt fast in the last two rounds and I feel quite comfortable with the car here,” said the great Asturian driver.
