Alpine saw its cars finish eighth and 10th at Monza, having qualified outsid൩e of the top 10 on pure performance in Friday’s qualifying session. 

Reflecting on the Italian Grand Prix, Alonso said he was “p🅘roud” of his team for making the most of an uncompetitive weekendღ.

“I think it was a good Sunday for us,” Alonso💞 said. “Scori⛎ng points with both cars is a difficult target every weekend to position both cars on the top 10 on Sundays. And it was even more here, because we seem a little bit less competitive from the first practice, qualifying P13, P14. 

“And now on Sunday being in the top 10 i♒t means that we did something good to achieve this result. It was a good race🧜, executed well, the pit stops, the starts, no mistakes on the sprint race, no mistakes today. 

“So you know, there are many factors and you have to make all of them quite perfect if you want to scoꦓre points, because we don't have any margiꦛn. So I'm quite satisfied and proud of the team this weekend.”

Despite Alpine’s level of competitiveness varying somewhat, Alo﷽nso has scored points in eight of the last nine races. 

Looking ahead at the upcoming races in Russia, Turkey and the United States, Alonso is unsure where Alpine will stand relative to AlphaTauri and Aston Martin - its m🀅ain competitors for fifth in the constructors’ championship.

“I think there's gonna be ups and downs for everybody,” Alonso added. “We saw in this triple header that we are up and down in the level of competitiveness💛 and on the grid. In Spa, we were o⛎kay on the dry. 

“We were not okay with the wet. Zandvoort we were okay all weekend. Here ༺we are not. So I think it's track dependence. So I don't 🦩know exactly in Russia, Turkey and Austin, how it's going to be. 

“I think it will be better. I will say that Monza was a🌜lready in the calendar as one of the worst [for A📖lpine], we knew that. So, yeah, let's see what we can do.”
