'I'm not thinking that high, to be honest.' Alonso has downplayed his chances of fighting for pole position in the BahrainGP despite topping the times on Friday. F1
Asked if would now be disappointed if he didn't get pole on Saturday, Alonso was keen to keep expectations in check.
"I'm not thinking that high, to be honest. Actually, I don't know exactly what position will be a good one for us. "It's very easy to make a mistake, it's not the same fighting for P12, P14 as fighting for top five positions, because the pressure is different, the adrenaline is different. So there are a lot of things that we as a team, we have to grow together, in this in this process.
"The target has to be fighting for the championship, but in the long term, I don't think in this year yet."Alonso praised the AMR23 but was keen to point out that there was more to come in terms of both improvements in the car and in the way the team operates as he continues to adapt to the Silverstone outfit."After testing there are always mixed feelings where you are, and still as we go into qualifying and the race.
