Alonso: "I'm a little disappointed, I thought the lap was very good"

Spanish Formula One drivers Fernando Alonso and Carlos Sainz expressed dissatisfaction with their qualifying performances for the sprint race at the Singapore Grand Prix held at the Marina Bay street circuit.

Alonso, driving for Aston Martin and a two-time world champion, will start fifteenth on Saturday for the seventeenth round of the World Championship, noting that he was somewhat disappointed despite believing his lap was very good. Meanwhile, Williams driver Carlos Sainz was eliminated in the first round of the sprint qualification and will start twenty-second, attributing his poor result to braking problems.
