Fernando Alonso said in Sao Paulo that ahead of the Brazilian round of the season, the entire Alpine team is in a fighting mood as it plans to keep 4th in the Constructors’ Championship and not give it to McLaren.
Fernando: “I hope I don’t have to change the engine of my car in Brazil anymore. The old bike worked in Mexico City and I have a new one in stock, which I only received in Austin. Let’s hope there are no more sanctions.
In general, we have a pretty calm mood for this weekend. The circuit in São Paulo places special demands on the car, everything has to work as efficiently as possible, but on circuits like Spa or Suzuka everything was fine. We expect to be competitive in the Brazilian stage, but we also have to take the weather factor into account as there is a chance of rain every day. But I would like this weekend to go without complications.
Speaking of the rivalry with McLaren for 4th place in the Constructors’ Championship, I have no doubt that the battle will continue until the season finale. Even if one of us does well this weekend, he can only earn four or six points more than the opponent. Therefore, everything is decided only in Abu Dhabi, but the mood of the team is quite combative. The fate of the major championships has already been decided, so our modest goal is to maintain 4th place, and this keeps the overall motivation high.”
After 20 rounds of the season, the Alpine F1 is just seven points ahead of the McLaren.
