Renault boss praises Alonso's calming effect
01 April 2008Fernando Alonso is having an overwhelmingly positive impact on the Renault team since his return, according to the outfit's engineering chief Pat Symonds. Above all, Alonso's calm and composed approach is helping the team hugely, according to the veteran former engineer of Michael Schumacher.
"Fernando really is one of the positives and the effort we get from him is fantastic, as is his understanding of the race, the tactics and the whole business of Formula 1," Symonds said. "He goes about things in a very calm way and I like that because I think it pervades through the team. I always like to try and put calmness in the team because I think it operates better that way and it's great when you have a driver who can do that."
"The other thing about Fernando is that his results are very motivational - he's not a guy who has to go around motivating people because his ability and his results motivate people in themselves," he added. "Everyone knows that at the end of every race Fernando has put in a 100% effort no matter what the circumstances are or what position he is racing for, and that is incredibly motivating for the whole team."
