Fernando Alonso admits that he has concerns about the race pace of his Aston Martin Formula 1 team in Saudi Arabia despite tweaks to the AMR24 aimed at improving it.
In last week's Bahrain GP Alonso secured sixth on the grid but slipped back to a distant ninth place in the race. He has again qualified well in Jeddah, earning fourth on a day that regular Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz was absent, and Mercedes struggled with bouncing. 'We are surprised about the performance of this car over one lap,' he told Motorsport.com. 'I think it's not our natural position to be in the second row of the grid.
'Here, it seems that we were faster on Friday on new tyres than on the long run pace, so there is a trend.

'So we made a few tweaks to the car on the set-up. And we will have the answer on Saturday night. But let's hope to have a stronger race than Bahrain.' Alonso feels the changes will pay off.
