Fernando Alonso feels the Spanish Grand Prix won't be his best race of the season

Despite finishing second in Monaco, Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso feels that Red Bull will dominate the 2023 F1 Spanish Grand Prix. Additionally, he also pointed out how other rivals like Mercedes and Ferrari will test their new upgrades and push forward, pressuring him.

Speaking in the drivers' press conference after the Monaco GP, he said:

“Yeah, it will be but I don't think that I will not put any pressure on my team or myself into next week. We saw today on race pace… yesterday was very close in qualifying but today in the race, we saw Red Bull again, very dominant. So we have to accept that things into next weekend will be maybe as we saw in any other race this year, where Red Bull is untouchable."

Alonso added:

"And we have to see in a normal circuit, what is the package of Mercedes and the upgrades that Ferrari will bring apparently to Barcelona as well. So we have to have the feet on the ground and as I said in Miami, it’s going to be a few weekends in the year that we will just be seventh and eighth and we have to accept that and some others that we will fight for podiums. So I will not get into Barcelona, thinking that I will win, and disappoint anyone. We have to have the feet on the ground.”

Several fans, pundits, and even drivers are speculating that Red Bull will be victorious in the Spanish Grand Prix. However, only time will tell how the race in Barcelona will pan out.
