Honda had a mixed weekend at Monza last time out. AlphaTauri was celebrating after Pierre Gasly's victory, while at Red Bull Racing everything went wrong. This weekend the emotions for Honda are again double for the time being, although the roles are now reversed.

"In today’s qualifying for the first Tuscan GP, Aston Martin Red Bull Racing had a positive afternoon, producing a good performance to get both cars on the second row, with Alex securing his best ever F1 qualifying result," said Toyoharu Tanabe on Saturday afternoon.

Honda wants to get a lot of points again

"However, it was a tough afternoon for Scuderia Alpha Tauri. Pierre missed the cut to Q2 by just 0.05 seconds and then Daniil had to settle for twelfth after making a slight mistake in Q2."

Bad luck for AlphaTauri, who could have been a bit further forward without those mistakes. Exactly what will happen tomorrow is unknown, but given the speed of both teams, Tanabe does not adjust his goals. "As usual, our aim is for all four of our cars to finish in the points."
