Alonso: “We will fight for the title”

Fernando Alonso enters its second season with Ferrari with complete confidence. The Spaniard intends to fight for a world champion title, which narrowly escaped him last year. “I think if you drive for Ferrari, you have no other objective than to fight for the title of champion, notes the double world champion. This is part of Ferrari's history, it is Ferrari's strength. This team has a passion for motor racing and winning, obviously that's our goal, that's our goal for this 2011 season, to try and fight for the world championship. »

The new regulations and the uncertainties surrounding Pirelli tires do not scare him. “There are many things to learn about these tires, explains Fernando Alonso. It is certain that there will be changes during the race in terms of strategy. So this is news Formula 1 which starts in Melbourne. It's up to us to learn lessons and keep them for future races. We need to focus on strategy because it can play a role in how the race goes. The number of revolutions per set of tires is impossible to predict now, but I think it?s not a big problem, because everyone has the same tires. After tomorrow's tests, we will understand a little better the strategy to adopt on Sunday. I hope that everything will be ok and that it will be more fun for the spectators. »
