Alonso admits Aston Martin’s position in Canada ‘difficult to guess’ after P5 during Friday practice

Fernando Alonso is still waiting for the pecking order to become clear at the Canadian Grand Prix after a decent Friday saw the Aston Martin driver end second practice in fifth place on the timesheets.

Following a difficult start to the season, Alonso claimed his first points of the campaign last time out in Spain and will be looking to continue that momentum at Round 10 on the calendar in Montreal, a venue that the two-time World Champion previously won at back in 2006.

After classifying in P12 on the timesheets in first practice, Alonso caught the eye by going fifth quickest in Free Practice 2. However, while he later admitted that the AMR25 had been feeling good, the Spaniard acknowledged that the team’s true position may not become apparent until later in the weekend.

When asked where he feels that the squad are after Friday’s running, Alonso explained: “Difficult to guess. I think this track is always… It was good for us, I think the car feels good, but still not an easy circuit to put a lap together.
