According to Alonso, his"messy FP3" was caused by set-up experiments, but on a more familiar set-up his AMR23"came alive" in qualifying."We tried different set-ups and they didn't work, but the team obviously put the car in a more known place after the first four races and the car came alive in qualifying.
Charles Leclerc's crash then prevented anyone from setting another time as he brought out the red flag with not enough time on the clock to restart the session.set to join him on the second row.But amid complaints over Miami's low-grip track, Alonso said he"enjoyed every lap" of its challenging layout.
"I did enjoy every lap, it was so enjoyable to drive," he beamed."Especially the low-speed corners here are quite tricky. "You go quite close to the walls between Turn 11 and 16, so you need to have that confidence in the car to really attack qualifying. And I had the confidence today, so I was very pleased.
"It was difficult the whole weekend. It is a very narrow racing line that we are cleaning, and it gets quite grippy, but offline it gets quite slippery."
