Esteban Ocon is happy for his team and Fernando Alonso. His Spanish teammate managed P2 in qualifying for the Canadian Grand Prix but the Frenchman is disappointed with his own qualifying.

Speaking to Sky Sports, the Frenchman said, "First of all, I’m delighted for the team and for Fernando today. He deserves to be starting on the front row after driving very a strong weekend so far."

On his own qualifying, Ocon says: "On my side, I feel slightly disappointed as more was probably on the table today in those conditions."

He continues: "We weren’t able to extract the performance that we know is there and I’ve felt a little bit off the pace all weekend. As always, we’ll continue the hard work with the engineers to find the marginal gains."

The Alpine driver also looks positive: "Nevertheless, we have both cars in good positions on the grid for tomorrow and we’re in contention to score strong points for the team, which is most important."
