Alonso Remains Optimistic After 21st Place Qualifying in Austria

Alonso finished 21st in the Austrian Grand Prix qualifying, trailing only teammate Lance Stroll, but praised the session for extracting maximum performance from the car. He noted that recent work on the AMR26’s engine and energy‑management issues has delivered a more consistent lap pace.

The team expects the upcoming upgrade package, slated for Hungary and Zandvoort, to make the car far more competitive. These improvements could see Alonso climbing the grid in the coming races.
