"HOW SAD TO BE OUT BY Q3"

Alonso: "Posting a minimum but tough race"

Fernando Alonso failed to repay the enthusiasm of Valencia , and now I expect a very tough race. "It 'sad not to get into Q3. How performances are two tenths off pole, while we are out of position as Q3. This makes us the race a bit' harder because we start out from the crowd, but we need to do better . It 'a mix of emotions a bit' strange, "said the Spaniard's Ferrari after qualifying.

"We try to make as many points as possible. We have some more rubber, hopefully it will be an advantage. The podium is out of reach and it is clear that with Hamilton in the first row is likely to expect to lose ground against him," he added.

Slightly worse than Alonso did Felipe Massa , who does not provide a simple Sunday. "It was enough difference of a few tenths and changed everything, we did not go for a small difference, the gap is very close, but we're out for a nap. With the soft tires we went a bit 'better, we are in the midst of the group, but outside the "top ten". will not be easy, we'll see what we can earn, the race is long. "

Try playing the position, however, Stefano Domenicali . "We need to make an attack strategy, with our opponents in the league who are up front. There were gaps are very close and we were out of Q3. We see in the race, here it is difficult to overcome, but we will give it all," admitted Team Principal of Maranello.
