Fernando Alonso: "We must take a further step forward" © Sutton Images
Fernando Alonso believes Ferrari is still lacking something when it comes to qualifying, despite an overall improvement in the car's performance at recent races.
Alonso has finished in the top two at the last three races, but has failed to qualify on the front row at any of them. He said his team must continue to push to find more performance from the car.
"We have made up a lot of ground compared to the very early part of the season in terms of performance, but we must take a further step forward, as I have said so often before," he wrote in his official Ferrari blog. "We still lack something, especially in qualifying: it's true that in the race we can make up for this, but it's not always possible to move up two places compared to our grid position, as happened in Monaco, Valencia, Silverstone and Nurburgring."
He is confident the Ferrari will be even more competitive in the heat expected at Hungary.
"At the Hungaroring, the weather should be more in keeping with summer, which is no bad thing as I've had enough of the cold and damp we experienced in England and Germany," he added. "That goes not just for me, but also for our car: it would definitely work better in temperatures higher than the 13° we had last Sunday."
