The Spanish driver Fernando Alonso (Alpine) was “very happy” this Sunday after finishing in sixth place in the French Grand Prix race, “the maximum” for the French team this weekend.
“I’m very happy, it’s the most we could do, with a good race pace. It was a comfortable sixth place,” the Asturian celebrated in statements on Dazn.
The Spaniard started from seventh position at the start and completed a very solid race to achieve a meritorious sixth place at Alpine’s ‘home’.
