Fernando Alonso Fight Quotations

I am extremely happy and it is a big day for me. I did a good race, I thought we would fight McLaren but it was not possible,

I won the championship with maybe not the best car, so I am proud of what I did. The fact that I have taken over the title from Michael Schumacher is a bonus. I came from a country with no tradition in F1. I had to fight my way alone. I have only had the help of two or three people in my career, no more.

I think he did a good race, and if he started from the front it would have been a close fight again, between two or three cars, so we'll wait for the next (race) and the opportunity to see him in a more competitive start.

We are ready to fight a bit less conservatively in the last two races, ... I will be more aggressive with how I use the engine, the tires, every part of the car.

I knew Juan Pablo was quicker, ... I knew I had no chance to fight because today was no risk. It was not easy, I was extremely careful in overtaking. Every one was a risky moment.

For the future, it will be a good fight because he is very young. We can be in Formula One a very long time. I am really happy and confident for next year because the potential is here in the team.

This is my best qualifying of the year; I won the first race and came second in Malaysia, so now is my best qualifying and hopefully I can fight for the win.
