Greater Noida: Fernando Alonso of Ferrari looks like have conceded crucial advantage to rival Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull by finishing fifth in the qualifying of the Indian Grand Prix, but then the Spaniard said he is not much concerned with it.
Alonso who is trailing Vettel by six points in the driver’s standings said that he is not demotivated and things can change very quickly on Sunday.
“I know things can change very quickly on Sunday. There are 60 laps to work with and we will need to tackle each one as if it is qualifying by attacking. I am definitely not the sort to give up and that is my real advantage,” said Alonso.
Alonso will start the race from the third row on the grid followed by the Red Bulls and the Mclarens.
“We tried hard to get most out of the car, but we could not get ahead of the Red Bulls and McLarens. In the end it was not a bad result and it would have been easy to end up even further back if anything had gone wrong,” the two times champion told the reporters after the qualifying session.
“We must try and make up places on the first lap and try to put pressure on our main rivals, ensuring they don’t have an easy race,” he added.
