“Yeah, 67 percent I heard of the merchandise on the grandstand is green, which is amazing," Alonso told F1.com. "This is going back to the 2005, 2006, 2007 years, where everything was in one color. I really feel that support, that special energy," he added. "It was amazing at the fan forum this morning. While driving I cannot hear them, but I feel how enthusiastic they are, so hopefully we put in a good show for them.”

Furthermore, Fernando Alonso also stated how he was happy with the upgrades brought by Aston Martin and claims that almost every new part attached to the AMR23 is helping the car.

“They do, they do. Absolutely. There is not a new part that we put in the car that is not helping the performance. That is something that has been always the case with the team from Bahrain. I’m happy with upgrades, and let’s see tomorrow when everyone goes to full power, where we are,” the Spaniard added.

Alonso currently stands in third place in the drivers' championship table with 93 points.
