Ferrari have struggled in the past two races, but Alonso said on Thursday he expected to be more competitive this weekend and that he was still confident they could wrestle back third place in the constructors' championship from Williams by the end of the season.
He will not be expected to remain fastest, but even allowing for the fact that Ferrari tend to use less fuel than their rivals on a Friday - equal to a lap-time advantage of about 0.5secs a lap - Alonso looked to be a threat for the Red Bulls.
