Aston Martin believes 'the opportunity is there' for Alonso to win the MiamiGP despite the Spaniard saying victory is not his target.
Asked about the prospects for a victory, Alonso was keen to downplay his chances."I think even the podium is going to be difficult, but we do our race. We've been doing this the whole season, we are in a privileged position, we never expected to be here.
"If it's P5, it's going to be P5. If it's P7, P7. If it's another podium it will be fantastic. But I think it's going to be a tough race."Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin F1 Team, in Parc Ferme after Qualifying"The opportunity is there," he said when asked by Motorsport.com about his driver's chances. Krack admitted that it's been hard for the team to get a proper understanding of the Miami track given the changing conditions.
"And this puts you a bit on the back foot. Then we had two red flags, then you go out, and you don't know really where you are.
