Fernando Alonso Bit Quotations

I am a little bit surprised to be on pole position but the car was perfect.

I thought overtaking him was not possible but he had damaged his car, went wide, and I overtook him, so it was a nice surprise at the end but it is a bit disappointing because we were a bit slower than them.

I thought the other one seemed a bit old. I am really happy with the result.

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.

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 race was a bit crazy. Some moments I didn't understand. I was 20 seconds ahead and the gap disappeared after three or four safety cars in 10 laps.

The race was a little bit crazy, I didn't understand. I was 20 seconds ahead and the gap disappeared. But there was no risk to lose the victory anytime.

At the end the team informed me about the tire problem that Juan Pablo had, ... and I pushed a bit more and we turned the engine up again and tried to put some pressure, but it was too late.

The conditions were not perfect, quite windy and the track was a little bit dirty. We all have our fingers crossed to avoid a wet track, but if it rains it will be the first time we are all in the wet in 2006 and we'll see how the cars behave.

It's a little bit frustrating with the start, obviously, because we lost a place. It should be easy to keep the pole position. It was really frustrating.

The last two or three laps, you start to hear noises and you are a bit worried. When I crossed the line, I realized everything was done.
