Alonso believes he won't be in a position to fight Red Bull for victory in the SaudiArabianGP despite sharing the front row of the grid with Perez. 'On pure pace, I think Red Bull is in another league.'
"I don't know [if we can beat Perez] - I think we are not in that position yet," Alonso said.
"On pure pace, I think Red Bull is in another league and I think we have to concentrate more on the teams behind. So Ferrari will be very strong, Mercedes are strong, also Alpine - they are fast here. "I think our race is just behind us. We saw today Max probably was in his league today in qualifying and he could not complete the qualifying with a mechanical issue.
"Even if we focus on our mirrors and try to keep the people behind, if anything happens in front, we will try to take the opportunity."I don't want to sound pessimistic, but if we see the pace in free practice, and in Bahrain, we have to be honest with ourselves and know that Red Bull is a little bit ahead of everyone.
"That's not the target tomorrow, to fight for the win with Checo. But, as I said before, Formula 1 is not exact mathematics, you know, anything can happen and today, Verstappen was P15. These things happen sometimes."
