Everything normal at the moment - Alonso
The World Champion spoke after Friday’s practice sessions. The key word? ‘Normal’… It's the final race for Fernando Alonso with the Renault F1 Team as he's moving to McLaren next season. Alonso hopes to win both championships with Renault as a going-away-present.
"Everything is normal at the moment. We are approaching the race with the same motivation, the same mentality and the same strategy for qually, for the race and for Friday. So everything should be normal. But we know that the main objective here is to be in the points, not to win the race."
And how did the sessions go?"The circuit was still cleaning up a lot after the rain on Thursday, so it was slowly picking up grip. I think that it will be totally different on Saturday and Sunday."
Finally, will you be taking a safety-first approach?"Well, we need to finish the race and avoid any risk. But at the same time, we need to prepare with a normal approach, to try and fight for the pole position, and for the podium on Sunday. For sure, if with 10 laps, or with 20 laps to go, I am in a comfortable position, then that is when I can drop a little bit."
