Fernando Alonso is more serene

Fernando Alonso won the Korean GP after the double retirement of Red Bull. He suddenly takes the lead in the Championship, with a lead of eleven points over Mark Webber and 21 points over Lewis Hamilton. The pilot Ferrari hopes to maintain the same pace shown since the last races. “ It?s always better to be in front than behind! Our objectives are now within our reach but that will not change anything in our approach. We must continue to use all the potential at our disposal », Comments the Championship leader.

« My statistics from the second part of the season are interesting. Out of 133 points taken in seven races, I collected 90 since Hockenheim », Analyzed the double World Champion. “ The most surprising thing is that our work has not particularly changed in the meantime. We were previously lacking results until we managed to have some good weekends. If the car has always been competitive, we have nevertheless significantly improved our level of performance over the last three months. »

Fernando Alonso is now focusing on the Brazilian GP, ​​a circuit where turnarounds are frequent. “ Interlagos has always offered exciting races, due to the characteristics of its route, but also because of its very variable weather. This will be a very important factor and we must prepare ourselves in the best possible way to be able to face all types of scenarios. The circuit being quite short, the gaps will be smaller than usual. The smallest mistake will cost a lot more. We will have to be absolutely perfect. »

Nevertheless, the double World Champion has good memories of Interlagos, since he won his two titles on the Brazilian track. “ I have a special feeling every time I go to Sao Paulo. But I don't want to think about repeating history a third time. I know it's possible, but it doesn't matter to me. We want to approach this GP like any other, by being focused and keeping our feet on the ground. We will try to do a good job, without making mistakes, to beat our opponents. I say it again: we will do the calculations in Abu Dhabi. »
