Sunday: Ferrari on the podium with Alonso 3rd, Räikkönen limits the damage

Fernando Alonso (No. 14) – 3rd

After a difficult start to the season, the Spaniard believes that this podium is a great breath of fresh air for the whole team, not forgetting the departing Domenicali: « I think this podium should be dedicated to Stefano since everything we do until July will be the result of his efforts. »

He believes he did everything he could: « I was on the edge throughout the race and I don’t think I could have done anything more. It’s a truly unique track, and now we have to use the long break before the next race to prepare as well as possible for any eventuality. »

Kimi Räikkönen (No. 7) – 8th

In trouble since the first free practice session, the Finn couldn’t make up for lost time: « This weekend was really difficult. From Friday morning, I had issues that we couldn’t completely solve, and today in the race, I didn’t get the result I wanted. The start was good, I gained two places but couldn’t gain more because I just didn’t have the pace, and I had no grip at the front or rear. In my last stint with new tires, the car behaved better but then, as the tires degraded, the situation became complicated again. »

Despite everything, he tries to take away the positive: Today, we are bringing back valuable points thanks to the efforts of the entire team. Fernando’s result is very encouraging and proves that we are heading in the right direction.
