Ferrari's performance in Singapore left much to be desired, according to former team driver Fernando Alonso.

The Spanish driver, now with Aston Martin, had anticipated Ferrari to set the pace under the bright lights of the Marina Bay Circuit.

Unfortunately, Carlos Sainz crashed out in Q3, and Charles Leclerc had his final qualifying lap invalidated for exceeding track limits.

"I don't want to blame anything or anyone," commented team boss Frederic Vasseur, "but when you're in the middle of the grid, it's quite difficult to make up positions."

Despite driving a far less competitive Aston Martin, Alonso outqualified both Ferraris and ultimately crossed the finish line the next day in P8, just behind Sainz and three places behind Leclerc.

"I think we should have finished P15, but we are eighth, two seconds behind a Ferrari," remarked the 43-year-old two-time world champion.

"Good points, but still not great speed."

Regarding Ferrari, Alonso firmly stated: "The Ferraris probably should have won this race. They were the fastest car this weekend."
