�This has been a lost day, since both the tyres and the suspension that we have to test here are for the dry" Alonso said after the unproductive day. "I wanted to get back on the track again, since I had not done it since Suzuka, except of course for the exhibition in Moscow". The leader of Renault drove last season�s car with some modifications, since the new car will not be ready until January.
�
Alonso is optimistic about next season: "I hope to be nearer the top drivers. Predictions are difficult, although I suppose that Ferrari, Williams and McLaren will stay one step ahead of us. Concerning the new car I only have the data from the wind tunnel. We have the expected logical doubts until we test it on a circuit, but I believe that it will be a balanced and more powerful car".
� Due to a lack of work on the first day, the Spanish driver was in meetings with the engineers and the public relations department. The circuit was visited by some players from Seville FC; Dar�o Silva, Esteban and Gallardo were all there. Fernado Alonso was chatting with them and showed them how to drive a racing car. The soccer players were surprised. "This set up is impressive" admitted Dar�o. |
