Fernando Alonso is not expecting to “surprise” with world-beating pace this weekend in Hungary.<\/p>\n
The Spaniard does, however, think Ferrari has ended its recent trend of stagnant development, and hopes to be at the wheel of a faster car “after the summer”.<\/p>\n
But Alonso, who did not run at Silverstone recently, revealed that Ferrari did test some new parts at the young driver test.<\/p>\n
“We won a tenth or two,” he is quoted by El Mundo newspaper.\u00a0 “But so did the other teams.<\/p>\n
“So I don’t expect any surprises here in Hungary.\u00a0 The gaps will be the same.\u00a0 My hope is for after the summer.<\/p>\n
“So in Spa and in Monza, and the other remaining races, hopefully we can regain some lost ground.”<\/p>\n
But Alonso said a lot will depend on how Pirelli’s latest tyre change, combining the 2012 structure with the 2013 compounds, affects the individual teams.<\/p>\n
“This is the fourth tyre change this season in formula one,” he said.\u00a0 “Some have been good, others not so much.<\/p>\n
“Hopefully this one will be good.”<\/p>\n
