In the last few races, Ferrari look impressive so it is always competitive in the fight over the platform number one. However, Fernando Alonso says that the "Scuderia" is still "missing something", which must be addressed so that it can more frightening.
Indeed, in the last three races, Alonso is always great to finish in second position, including a victory at Silverstone, England. However, world champion in 2005 and 2006 is still 86 points adrift of his rival from the Red Bull Racing, Sebastian Vettel, who firmly on top. Because of that, Alonso wants Ferrari remain impressed at the Hungarian Grand Prix ahead of this weekend, which is the last half of the season series.
At the start of the season, Ferrari is not competitive. As a result, "the Prancing Horse" the Italian far left of Red Bull. But over time, and a number of development being done, the team based in Maranello is beginning to show his prowess and became one of the favorites to win in each series.
Only, according to Alonso, Ferrari still have a weakness when it appeared in the qualifying session. The proof, since the beginning of the season until now where the 10 series have been passed, Alonso only twice in the top three. This has been a focus of Alonso, because with good qualifications so they have a great opportunity during the race.
"In terms of performance, we have a lot of progress compared to earlier this season. But we have to take a step further forward, as I have often said before," said the Spanish rider. "We still lack something, especially in qualifying: it is true that during the race we can be great, but it is not always possible to move up two places compared to our grid position, as happened in Monaco, Valencia, Silverstone and the Nurburgring."
The second position is occupied by Alonso on the last weekend in Germany, achieved in cold conditions, which do not affect the power of Ferrari. But with warmer weather in Budapest, Alonso expects no increase in performance from the Ferrari 150 degrees at the race this weekend, when he celebrated the birthday-30.
"At the Hungaroring, the weather may be better suited to summer, which is not a bad thing, since I've quite felt the cold and damp weather, which we experienced in the UK and Germany!" he said. "That applies not only to me, but also for our cars: that will certainly work better at higher temperatures than 13 degrees that we experienced on Sunday.
"I know, Hungarian Grand Prix for the Scuderia has a special meaning, because it has experienced some great moments, and also the dramatic, such as Felipe (Massa) seriously injured in a terrible accident, when he exposed a part of the car's Brawn Rubens Barrichello. Budapest is also special for me, when for the first time my first win in F1 in 2003. This is a very emotional day, memories that will always stick in me.
"As happened in 2010, I will again celebrate a birthday at the track with the Scuderia. On Friday, I was 30 years old: who knows if I'll get a pleasant surprise birthday ..."
