Alonso has shown this year what great pilot is within the track and beyond. At the move by Renault, Fernando already knew the state of the team and their cars from side to fight for something this season and already he was craving something difficult, but it augurs major improvements that would be conducive to lowering times that the R28 is suffering.

As demonstrated at McLaren, Alonso is a cornerstone to build a winning car and a team leader. That is why the McLaren-Mercedes of last season was an improvement between six and eight tenths in the MP4-22 last year and this year has seen the improvement that Renault has allowed him to move on to fight for the third team d ela grill. If signed by BMW would be talking about winning a car.

One of the great talents of Fernando off the track is the key to these improvements being made in cars that pilot therefore has a unique mind and reminds all kinds of data very precisely, so that the data acquired and met in McLaren-Mercedes, now being implemented in Renault enabling it so that substantial improvement.

Looking to the Monaco GP Fernando Alonso has declared that it is not a Grand Prix where they might notice much improvement and that the key to making a good role in the Principality is to bring the car with some good settings to adapt to so complicated circuit urban.

For the first time since 2004, Fernando Alonso has no chance to compete to win the championship of Formula 1 pilots and is aware of this. However, waiting with great confidence to fight for the title next season and has stated that while preparing to compete at the highest level next season compitiéndo enjoy this season in the middle of the grill.

Fernando’s intention is to achieve a competitive Renault for the 2009 season or be signed by Ferrari, while it considers its duty is to learn to not always be the winner and accelerate their humility as Formula 1 pilot.

In the first free training on Friday, the surprise has marked the R28 of Fernando Alonso to occupy the position 4. Obviously, the first free because they have no future mark the Grand Prix because it is possible that other opponents were trying improvements or alternative configurations for the race.

Taking into account the evolution suffered in the GP Spain where the R28 was an improvement overwhelming respect to its previous state, in Turkey GP confirmed that improvement and allows fans dreaming all Spaniards in a good race Fernando Alonso. What they may not control or predict a possible rupture of R28 as in the GP Spain.

Pat Symonds, engineering chief of Renault, has assured that after studying the data referring to the Spanish Grand Prix, improving his co Renault R28 can be quantified in three tenths respect to the head. It is assumed that deals with Ferrari, but has not specified if one takes into account a McLaren or BMW.

The jump is real and Symonds said that “the direction is good, because many things worked. We must continue working on it. The gap is still quite large, much in the case of Ferrari, so there is plenty to do”. Altogether 19 were improvements that were applied to Renault in the weekend.

Pat warns that “this is not just the thing. There will be 19 improvements each race, so secure. Like all teams, we are not going to keep things drop the coup”, he says.

The race had ups and downs and changes of position important. After the first curve lost a position in favor of Felipe Massa and remained in third position until his first pit stops in which came in 12 th position. Then, because of the accident Kovalainen, saw benefited occupy the 6 th position while awaiting the entry of Heidfeld. After the fifth was behind the Ferrari, Kubica and Hamilton and everything was completed when his single-seater broke indicators to all the fans with a great humareda.

But despite that the term “abandonment” is not in the vocabulary of Fernando Alonso, it was a great feeling for the marked improvement of Renault that gives hope to all fans to believe in something bigger than that comes to occupy the posts until now.

Fernando Alonso surprised at the third day of workouts in Montmeló free. The Spanish rider has set the best time ahead of Michael Schumacher (Ferrari tester), Adrian Sutil, India and Force pilot with more than 2 seconds apart on the British pilot Lewis Hamilton. The result of the spectacular chrono by Alonso with the R28 has been when their single shoe has the famous “slicks” (smooth tires).

In the afternoon session, Fernando has stalled on the Catalan circuit in the curve Nissan but this has not prevented it from retaining the incredible time it had achieved this morning. Let us hope that the halt of Ferdinand is due to electrical and no mechanical problems with his R28 it seems that is beginning to bear fruit with very good results.

Today we have begun joranadas improvement for the Formula 1 teams. Over the next 4 days prrobarán improvements that its engineers have been developing for cars and incorporating substantial improvements in almost all units. In the first of the four days that the cars rodarán in Montmeló, partner Fernando Alonso Nelshino Piquet, has released a new front wing to provide a greater grip on the track which was one of the weaknesses of the French team Renault.

The team McLaren, at the hands of Spanish Pedro de la Rosa has been testing enhancements and changes for the next season in which the single has rolled with smooth tyres and aerodynamics with a much simpler and easier for those who are currently used.

Alonso believes that McLaren is not a winning team despite having a car in a better position than the R28. According to Fernando Alosno, this is because “they have not won any title in years, so I prefer to be in Renault in the same period have won two titles builders and two pilots”.

He also informed his future intentions for the 2009 season, without actually solving their destiny. Alonso believes that “next year I want to be a team that can win races. For now, I think it will be Renault, because at the end of the season we will have solved many gaps and then we can make a small step forward for the next season”.

Renault is looking for its second half by returning it lacks in the words of Pat Symonds. In directori engineering Renault hopes to recover at least half a second per lap with the improvements that incorporate single for the GP In Spain next April 27 in Montmeló. He also stated that the importance of improvement will depend largely on improvements to take the other teams may stay in insufficient.

Symonds indicated that Fernando Alonso is frustrated because their level of piloting and involvement with the team is very high, but the car is worse than expected. Fernando always asked for more “grip” because in the early races has had little traction.

The late evolutionary R28 is largely due to the conditions of the previous year in which, without Fernando, chose not to swim in the championship and somewhat neglected the evolution of the car despistados by other issues and that is why now touches more work, because they need to make the improvements that did the most they should do now.

Fernando Alonso at the Sakhir circuit (Bahrain), noted that “anger gives you know that you are the pilot who has more victories in Bahrain, which two have been four editions for you, and arrive this year and on Thursday, before of getting to the car, you know that the objective is to be between the sixth and tenth in the race, try to add points”.

The circuit noted that “Here are not many races rare. There is no possibility of rain. Do not usually have cars safety is not a difficult circuit because it has many loopholes… Under normal conditions you know that you will not be able to fight for anything important. Rather than sadness, which gives you is anger”.

Regarding the majoras to be taken by his team, said: “We have lacked a bit of top speed in the first two races. Seeing what here is a little better things. Wing all depends on how much you put into the car. If you put a tiny wing run much in the lines, but the curves lose some time. Tomorrow we plan to test in the second session to try to find the perfect: not losing much in the curves and search speed that we have lacked in the early careers”.

The Spaniard said it will use the same car that the previous Grand Prix, without any improvement, “But we are optimistic in view of the Spanish Grand Prix by the previous test in Barcelona (14-16 April), which will have some improvement . But the other teams will do well. Missing know whether we have done better than the rest”.
