At the same time, he understands that it is impossible to win from time to time this season, but I can say that he will definitely make every point. Fight.” The world champion was in an interview with Le Figaro.
When asked about the fight between Esteban Okon (13th in the Bahrain Grand Prix) and Alonso, he will maintain a very balanced balance, which will exchange blows in terms of performance. “It’s normal to have a psychological race between two drivers. There will always be one driver who has the upper hand in the battle. When a driver takes the lead in a Grand Prix and the other driver in the next race When you perform better in China, things get better. Good. There is a balance.”, he said.
