Ferrari can turn things around

The Spanish driver, who arrived at Ferrari this year, must face a difficult start to the season for the Team. Although he manages to collect more points than his teammate Felipe Massa, his results in the last two Grands Prix are below the performances expected this season. But Alonso knows that a team like the Scuderia can come back on its rivals. “ I feel that there is a real desire to reverse the trend and everyone reacted in the way I expected », Specified the double world champion. “ We have discussed a lot in recent days about the development of the car ", he added.

The Spaniard supports his point by comparing the performances of the RB6 and F10. ' It is wrong to say that development stopped after Bahrain. We have always been three or four tenths of the Red Bull on the first four Grands Prix of the season “, recalled Alonso. “ They bring developments to each race, like us, which proves that our work is at least as effective as theirs ».

The Spaniard, who is only 5 points behind Lewis Hamilton, will need to obtain a good result this weekend in Canada to compete for a place in the top 3 of the Drivers' Championship. On a circuit where reversals are practically an established rule, the former driver McLaren will have to perform a good qualification this time, and avoid pitfalls in the race.
