Fernando Alonso s reaction after Belgian GP qualifying Alonso was happy with the performance of the car, as both he and teammate Esteban Ocon qualified in the top six. Looking forward to the race, Alonso said he that hopes to attack the top three at the start of the race. He said: "I am happy with our performance today, and it's a positive result for the team with both cars qualifying inside the top-six positions. We gave each other the tow during the session, and it worked really well. It will be exciting tomorrow, and, like in Canada, it's another opportunity to attack inside the top three at the start." The Spaniard also hoped for a clean race and capitalise on his strong grid position. He said: "Tomorrow, I want a clean race to capitalise on this position. We'll be wary of those behind us, as there are some fast cars starting towards the back of the grid. We'll be aiming to be in the top five or six positions by the chequered flag." Alonso's teammate Ocon will start the race at the back of the grid because of an engine penalty he incurred. It remains to be seen how that impacts his performance on raceday.
