Fernando Alonso yesterday led the times in the second free practice table. Spanish Ferrari driver has started the weekend of the Grand Prize of Canada to transmit good feelings and fairly optimistic about their chances in the race. A few facts that confirmed seeing the good do Felipe Massa at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.


One of the drawbacks that might be Fernando Alonso in Montreal is the appearance of rain. The weather forecast so far suggest that it is possible that the liquid element make Act of presence in the Canadian route, something that the Spanish not has been overlooked in his blog on the website of Ferrari. The water is not ruled out for Saturday or Sunday.


The Ferrari driver wrote yesterday after the coaches on Friday:


Predicted rain tomorrow, and this may mean that the work done today only serves to today. With her everything can change, so we are going to maintain the concentration and to prepare for a possible change in the conditions.

The Spanish said the main improvement brought about and their feelings with the Pirelli:


The improvement in the DRS will be very effective if we take the second gives us. If it is dry, the opportunities to bring forward are much more than in the past. The combination of the faster Pirelli and the usual terms of the Montreal track will cause quite a few incidents in throughout the weekend.

Alonso said that Canada errors are expensive:


At the end of the session gets the pneumatic superblando and become between 30 and 40 laps trying to get closer to the walls, but any small error puts you against the wall. This is Canada, this is the case. We see that accidents occur normally at the end of the race, when the tires are already somewhat degraded. We saw an accident of Vettel after 12 laps, and the other cars were with old tires. Therefore, knowing the combination of Pirelli is not easy, nor neither control them when they degrade.

We will have to keep an eye on the forecast of rain for this weekend. A detail that could cause that the picture had changed completely at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.
