Alonso bullish ahead of Turkey
05 May 2008Fernando Alonso is in bullish mood ahead of this weekend's Turkish Grand Prix, despite the fact that he swaw his chances of a strong points finish in Spain disappear with his first engine failure of the season.
"We undoubtedly lost an opportunity to score some important points, which would have been very good for team morale," Alonso said. "Both cars retired from the race, but the performance was there; we showed good pace and I believe that this is what we should take from the weekend. As it was my home race I would have liked to finish and I think that fifth place was achievable."
"It was clear from the beginning of the weekend that we had made progress in Barcelona and I said that this was thanks to the efforts of the whole team who have worked very hard in the last few weeks to get us closer to the leading pace," he added. "This is only the first step and we will have an aggressive approach for the races to come with further new developments. I know it will not be easy, but I am sure that we will now be able to have some exciting races, and as a driver I want this more than anything."
