Fernando Alonso: “That is motor racing, and we were fighting for victory”

Jul 22, 2007

F1: Fernando Alonso McLaren

FERNANDO ALONSO
“This was a really exciting race for both the drivers and all the fans. The conditions were unbelievable – mainly at the start when we were just aquaplaning everywhere. In the dry conditions the Ferraris were a little faster but in the final stages when the rain started again, we were quicker and I was able to overtake Felipe to take the lead.

During this battle we touched twice, but that is motor racing, and we were fighting for victory. There was a close one in the pitlane during my last stop where there was a lot of traffic, and I was side-by-side with Giancarlo. All in all a good weekend for me, and I gained valuable World Championship points for both me and the team. In difficult conditions the team did a great job.”
