Fernando Alonso Mechanic Quotations

Thanks to luck and thanks to the mechanics who did a perfect stop again.

I think that if we stay competitive like we are, and if we can avoid mechanical problems, then we will be hard to beat.

At the beginning I had a better car, in the middle of the season he had a better car with more mechanical problems than me, so I won the drivers championship a little bit before the end.

The motivation is even higher than ever this year because we have the number one and two in the team and all the mechanics and engineers are working with much more interest than last year.

I thought I would be a go-kart mechanic - not an F1 driver

I was hoping that it would feel like the R25 to drive, because that was such a nice car for the drivers. The good news is that it does. It is easy to drive, the long runs seem consistent and we didn't have any mechanical problems. This is only the first January test with a brand new car. Taking that into account, I think we are in a strong position.

This was a good, fighting win and I want to dedicate it to the mechanics and the team, for some fantastic pit stops and the right strategy.
