This has been the best season yet – Fernando Alonso
Fernando Alonso hailed the 2010 season as his best season yet despite his back-to-back titles with his former team Renault in the years 2005 and 2006.
The Spaniard decided to join Ferrari from Renault for the 2010 season and is 14 points adrift from the current championship leader Mark Webber with just three races left in the season. Webber had a strong finish last year with Red Bull and it seems that
he is the most likely driver to win the title since he has an advantageous lead over the rest of the championship competitors.
“I think we've had up and downs during the season, but it's been a great 2010 championship. Driving for a new team, I've had a great integration at Ferrari from day one, so it has been a best year in my career so far, with a great experience,” said Alonso.
He was very happy since the team has been performing at its best since the past couple of races and Alonso hopes that the team will try its best to arrive in a position to fight for the title in Abu Dhabi in November. Fernando stated that the team came back
and took some good steps since the past couple of weeks. The team is aware of the current situation and he believes that they have found the right direction for this year.
Although the former champion hopes to join an elite band of men who have won three drivers’ titles in the sport, he said that he would not be as disappointed as it seems in case he does not win the title this year.
“It is not finished so we will see how it ends this year, but in terms of happiness, in terms of motivation, driving, the team itself, it is the best one, so obviously it would be nice to become champion this year but if we cannot do it I will have great,
great memories of 2010 anyway,” he added.
This season has been a rollercoaster ride for Ferrari but the team managed to come back strongly in the final quarter of the season and it seems that they will have the strongest car in Korea since they have been the best team since the German Grand Prix.
Ferrari is the only team out of the top three that has in a way openly announced that the team must favour Fernando only this season since he has a chance of winning the title and one cannot blame them since Felipe Massa has not been performing up to the
mark and Fernando has been astonishingly good.
It would be great to see what the team comes up with for the inaugural race in Korea this weekend and Alonso, seems to be the most confident and chilled out man in Korea at the moment.
