15/3/11,

The driver of Ferrari (Alonso) is not convinced with the bad picture of McLaren which was shown so far!!

McLaren looks like is outside the zone of claiming victories at the start of the season but Fernando Alonso does not share this view. Having passed through the camp of the British team and being now ... just opposite, that of Ferrari, the Spaniard refuses to write off the team and the car McLaren.

"They are in a better shape than they seem. The winter development tests offer a no cleared picture. Maybe they expected more, based on their tellings. They may be in the fastest combinations and expected to be far ahead. We will see in Australia. McLaren will not be battling for the 10th place. They will be close to the positions of the podium, "said the Spanish driver to the newspaper El Pais.

The MP4-26 was the big disappointment of the winter tests of development, since speed and reliability was missing.
