Alonso aims for 'big points' at home grand prix
Fernando Alonso is looking forward to show his home crowd the best possible performance. The Spaniard realises it won't be easy to fight for a podium finish but aims for points in this Sunday's Spanish Grand Prix at Circuit de Catalunya.
"It's always very special to race in Spain and I'm lucky to have two races at home this year in Barcelona and Valencia," Alonso said looking ahead of this weekend's Spanish Grand Prix. "Seeing the support of the fans always gives me a boost and I just hope that I can make them happy and have a strong weekend. It will be difficult to fight for the podium, but hopefully we can qualify well and score some big points in the race."
Even though the team has completed a lot of miles already at Circuit de Catalunya Alonso believes there is plenty of work left for the team to work on in the free practice sessions. He explained: "We tested there in February, but obviously we have developed the car a lot since then so we will need to work on the set-up during free practice. We are still missing some performance at the moment but the team has really improved the car already this season so we are certainly moving in the right direction. Hopefully we can take another step forward this weekend."
