Fernando Alonso says Ferrari needs to find ‘five or six tenths’ of a second to be fighting at the front of the field next season, with the two time Champion eager to return to winning ways. The Spaniard finished Sunday’s Brazilian Grand Prix in fifth place, crossing the finish line over half a minute behind winner Mark Webber.
Yet another race in which we did everything to perfection, from the start to the strategy and the work of the team, Alonso commented. The final result is more down to the performance of the others than our own, because we could not have done more.
Once again today, we got a very good start, putting a nice passing move on Button, but then, on the Medium tyres, we no longer had the speed to fend him off. I also had a problem with the DRS which would not activate: I was not fighting closely with other drivers, but it would certainly have helped me gain a few tenths while overtaking.
We need a car that is about five or six tenths quicker: achieving that won’t be a walk in the park, but I have every confidence in our engineers and in a team that dominated the last decade in Formula 1 and holds every possible record in this sport.
