There is no doubt that the third final position which was Fernando Alonso in the Grand Prize of Turkey past has left him with very good taste. The first podium of the season for himself and Ferrari. They have had to pass four runs to achieve this, a small Odyssey for the Spanish and his team.
Back up to the podium has returned him to transmit good feelings. So much so that he was convinced that the Scuderia is going to be able to able to provide you with a car to fight for the world championship this 2011. Alonso is very optimistic and remember that the season is long; There are still many Grands Prix ahead.
The website of Ferrari has collected their statements:
It's about time because we were taking too much to finish among the top three. It was particularly important to get it because we could fight to the end. That's already happened in China with Philip, but the two previous races also were near the podium. We have finally achieved what what we are capable.Alonso has warned that not can rest on the laurels:
The third position has also been important for the morale of the team. No one was happy with the start of the season, which did not comply with our expectations and we know what to feel well see that our efforts are not in vain. But we can not be content with this third place and what matters most, we must be much more competitive in qualifying. If we always start in the third line or above it is difficult to fight for the podium. We hope that the new pieces are an important step forward in classification also.The Spanish has renewed hope in the face to the rest of year:
I like to play with the numbers and I made a comparison between my first four races of the year this year and last. What cast the figures is that compared to 2010 in the same four races have earned 13 points (41 against 28). It is true that the difference from the leader is much higher (52 points) to which had after Shanghai 2010 (11 points), but we must not forget that after Silverstone was 47 points and there were only eight runs ahead. Today there are still fifteen races by dispute.
