The Portuguese GP from Formula 1, third race of the year, will measure the resilience of a Fernando Alonso that had a bad classification, without palliative. Surpassed with solvency by his partner Esteban Ocon, who will start 6th, the Spaniard will look for the points as a lesser evil and, above all, a better feeling than on Saturday.

Alonso blames the car for its poor classification … but that of his teammate Ocon is performing well

With Valtteri Bottas on pole, Lewis hamilton behind him and Max verstappen on the prowl to try to repeat victory, although it will be a difficult race on a complex track and with the wind as a surprise guest.

In this sense, it can give a lot to talk about Carlos Sainz. The Madrilenian comes out 5th, confirming his good adaptation to Ferrari, and if he has a good race (part with the handicap that he will go ‘against the grain’ in the tire strategy) he can give the bell.
