Ferrari’s Alonso says Vettel is doing an excellent job in 2011 Formula season – Formula 1 news
Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso has said that Red Bull’s Sebastian Vettel is doing an excellent job in the 2011 Formula 1 season right from the word go.
Alonso added that Vettel deserves the top position in the 2011 title fight, as he really worked hard during the races so far.
The Spaniard also mentioned that he is sure Vettel made very few mistakes during the races so far and that they made more improvements in terms of performance this year as compared to the 2010 season.
Alonso commented, “He has finished all the races. I think he's the only driver who has finished all the races, and plus he's driving very, very well. So in general he has been the best driver, and the best team and the best package, so they deserve to be
where they are.”
He went on to say, “When you have a dominant car it's easy to get a pole position or win a race, but there's been some occasions this year when the conditions were very tricky like Canada or Silverstone and he managed to pull a perfect lap in qualifying
and a perfect race from the start to the end.”
The 30-year-old driver further stated that the RB7 car is quite competitive in the ongoing season as compared to last year and due to that, they won most of the races of the season until now.
Apart from that, the Maranello-based outfit driver said that he still hopes to win the 2011 title. He believes they can win races in the last six rounds and win the championship battle as well, because they have a competitive car and perfect teamwork at
the moment.
Alonso has managed only one race victory in the season so far. After completing 13 rounds of the 2011 season, the Ferrari driver is placed at the second position with 172 points behind Vettel in the drivers’ championship.
Let’s see how Alonso manages his 14th race weekend of the ongoing season in Singapore, which will start from Friday, September 23, 2011 at the Marina Bay Street Circuit.
