Alonso plays down chances for title win at Interlagos

As one of the most dramatic, tense and exciting Formula 1 seasons for many years draws to a close, Fernando Alonso once more declared that he believes that McLaren will give both their drivers full equality in the fight for the title. The Spaniard also declared that it will be very difficult for him to win his third consecutive title at Interlagos this weekend as he's four points behind Lewis Hamilton.

Double World Champion, Fernando Alonso said: "Interlagos has a lot of great memories for me, having won both of my two World Championships at the circuit. They were both quite different races, but that is a characteristic of the track. It is very bumpy, you have to have suspension that allows you to drive hard whilst not being too uncomfortable. There are some great corners that you really get to attack, and all the elevation changes make it interesting for the drivers. I am sure we are going to Brazil with full equality across the team and two cars capable of fighting for victory in the race and the Championship. Although I am now only four points away from Lewis, I still need for there to be a lot of circumstances in my favour for me to win the Drivers’ title that are out of my control, but for sure I will be doing everything that is under my control to make it happen. I have to do my bit and then hope everything else falls into place."
