PORTUGUGESE GRAND PRIX
Portimao, Portugal
30 April - May 2nd 2021
Fernando Alonso heads to Portimão on the back of scoring his first point of the 2021 season in Imola.
Despite 316 race entries in Formula 1, the two-time world champion is set to race for the first time at the impressive, undulating circuit, tucked away in the picturesque port city in the Algarve.
You came away from a chaotic Emilia Romagna Grand Prix with your first championship point of the season, how do you feel following the weekend?
It was a very tough weekend for everyone. It was like doing three races in one, with the wet and dry conditions as well as the red flag. I learnt a lot from the weekend and especially after such a limited amount of testing in pre-season and only 32 laps in Bahrain during race conditions.
But Formula 1 races come thick and fast, and each weekend I learn more and adapt better to the car. There is always a period of adaptation in any new team or car, but I am working hard to be back to 100%.
What’s your evaluation of the upgrades brought to the A521 last week?
Looking back at the weekend we were obviously happy to score our first points of the season, and the upgrades we brought to the car were positive and worked well. I felt happier with the overall feel of the car and I think there is more potential there for us to improve.
The factories are working hard, and it was good to see this paying off. We’ll take this positivity forward into Portugal and hopefully we can show further progression there.
This weekend will be your first ever race in Portugal in Formula 1, are you looking forward to it?
It will be a totally different challenge this weekend in Portimão compared to Bahrain and Imola. The circuit is very fun to drive and I think in these modern Formula 1 cars it will be very exciting, especially with the huge elevation changes.
I’ve only tested here before in very wet conditions, so it will be a bit of a learning curve to begin with, but I love new challenges. We want to score more points this weekend.
