Alonso: "Saturday lowest point of the weekend"

Fernando Alonso describes Saturday's qualifying as the lowest point of the weekend for him and his McLaren team.

Alonso remained pretty positive about the outcome, despite the McLaren driver having to settle for 13th place in qualifying.

Alonso missed out of the top ten by almost three-tenths of a second.

The Spaniard believes that the weekend so far has been good and is optimistic that his starting position gives him a shot at being able to finish in the points at Silverstone.

"The weekend in general has been good so far and qualifying has also proved to be okay," Alonso said.

Alonso admits that his team must be at full concentration later today if they want to score points.

The Spaniard understands he will need to manage his tyres well if he wants to make a one-stop system work for him.

"We know this track is demanding aerodynamically," Alonso said.
