The Spaniard and team-mate Lance Stroll have endured a difficult run of races since new developments arrived at the United States Grand Prix.
Neither driver has been particularly happy with the balance of the car, and things were not helped by the team getting struck by brake problems in FP1 at Austin’s Circuit of the Americas that ultimately derailed its weekend there.
But ahead of a sprint race event in Brazil, where there will be little time to play around with parts or set-up, Alonso says the squad will likely commit to a “combination” of old and new designs that it knows are definitely working.
“We have a lot of data obviously from the last two events, and we’ve been experimenting a little bit with the car and the set-up and the packages,” he said at Interlagos.
“I think we have some clear idea now, some better conclusions after the two events, which of the package and which parts of the package are working better in certain circuits in certain corners.
“For here, because it's a sprint, we will try to commit to something from FP1 and stay with that, and that will be the best package for this circuit.”
