Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso has demanded improvements for the pace of his car after the Spaniard only managed the sixth fastest time on Saturday’s qualifying for the Korean Gran Prix.
“I am not surprised at the outcome of this qualifying session because, in terms of pure performance, Saturday is always difficult for us and will continue to be so until the end of the season,” said Alonso.
“Usually, on Sunday, things go better and our aim is always to get to the podium, as has happened in recent races. This weekend seems harder than usual because while, up until now we have always had a good race pace, both yesterday (Friday) and today (Saturday) we suffered on the long runs and that means we must absolutely improve for tomorrow (Sunday),” Alonso added.

Alonso is currently second in the drivers’ championship behind Sebastian Vettel who has a 60 point lead. The two time world champion added that the chances of rain at the circuit could work as his advantage.
“Given how we look in the dry, the rain could mix things up and in fact we have nothing to lose and even if there will be little time to adapt to it, we must be ready for this eventuality,” he said.
