Alpine 'needs every step' forward it can take in its battle with McLaren, says Alonso, as his team plans to introduce a new F1 floor in Singapore.
The upgraded Alpine floor is expected to be on fitted to both A522s throughout the weekend."So let's see if we can properly test it tomorrow on the free practice, confirm that is a step forward, and we think it is a step forward. And yeah, race with that floor.
"Maybe here in Singapore it's difficult to see all the benefits, because there is a huge track evolution and things like that. It's very difficult test track, let's say, we need to go maybe for Suzuka. "But I think it's a step forward. And we need every step that the team can bring for this fight with McLaren, because until Abu Dhabi it's going to be very tight."
Regarding the fight for fourth, he said:"There's going to be a couple of weekends they are faster, a couple of weekends that we are faster. So that's the main priority for me. "And taking it race-by-race obviously it's going to be interesting if in one of them there are any opportunity with two or three cars in front having any problem or DNF or whatever, if we have that opportunity to be close to the podium that will be fantastic. But for that we need some help from the people in front."
