Fernando Alonso remains realistic, having recorded the fastest lap time of the day in Germany on Friday. With himself and Felipe Massa first and third for Ferrari, the Italian team appears to have made marked improvement although the Spaniard is keeping an eye on the second and fourth-placed Red Bulls.
Despite his best efforts, Sebastian Vettel was unable to displace Alonso at the forefront of the timesheets, eventually finishing just 29 thousandths of a second faster.
“We have seen before on Fridays that we are very competitive and then on Saturday the Red Bulls are clearly quicker, so we have to take this result with a pinch of salt,” Alonso commented. “In order to be in front tomorrow, we will have to do something out of the ordinary.
“Today’s changeable weather made for a different day to usual, making it even harder to get a true picture of the hierarchy among the teams; you only had to use the softs (softer compound tyres) five minutes later to gain half a second.”
