Fernando's blog : a very special race !
| We’re reaching the final stages of a frenetic month of July. I am in Maranello, where I came on Sunday night, directly from the Nurburgring and, early tomorrow morning, it will be time for me and the engineers to head for Budapest. In this very short break between the two races, I worked, as is usually the case when I am at the factory, on the simulator to prepare both for this weekend’s race and for the ones after that. On top of that, I took part in several meetings with the engineers, while today I also got the chance to meet up with President Montezemolo and the members of the Ferrari Board, who were meeting in Maranello. Montezemolo was his usual cheerful self with me and wanted to know how preparations were going for the Hungaroring race. It’s now a few months that our car has become more competitive and that means we have been consistently able to fight for a podium finish. We have made up a lot of ground compared to the very early part of the season in terms of performance, but we must take a further step forward, as I have said so often before. We still lack something, especially in qualifying: it’s true that in the race we can make up for this, but it’s not always possible to move up two places compared to our grid position, as happened in Monaco, Valencia, Silverstone and Nurburgring. At the Hungaroring, the weather should be more in keeping with summer, which is no bad thing as I’ve had enough of the cold and damp we experienced in England and Germany! That goes not just for me, but also for our car: it would definitely work better in temperatures higher than the 13° we had last Sunday. |
| I know the Hungarian Grand Prix has a special significance for the Scuderia, as it has experienced some great moments, but also some dramatic ones, like when Felipe was injured in that fluke accident when he was hit by a part of Rubens’ Brawn. Budapest is special for me too, as it was at this very race in 2003 that I took my first ever Formula 1 win. It was a very emotional day, the memory of which will always stay with me. As was the case in 2010, I will again celebrate my birthday at the track with the Scuderia. On Friday I turn thirty: who knows if I will get a nice birthday surprise… |

Germany GP : Alonso & Massa Saturday quotes
Fernando Alonso :
We are neither surprised nor disappointed, quite the contrary. In fact, this grid was more or less what we could expect, what we have seen in free practice. Yesterday we saw that Red Bull would be three or four tenths quicker than us. Hamilton was good, especially in the first sector, it was better than us. McLaren has made many new parts here and you could really see that they were working. I'm happy with my lap and result in any event this year, we saw that we have always done better in the race than qualifying. We will see the weather tomorrow, rain is forecast. If it's dry, then we can claim to have 25% chance win and a little less if it rains because the others have always been better in wet conditions. Maybe tomorrow the situation may change, you never know. I always aim the podium, but if the prospect of winning presents itself, I do not think about it twice. Also on this track, we brought news, that we introduced to improve our performance, race after race. It is clear that we must take a step forward if we are to top with the best. "
Felipe Massa :
"I can not pretend to be pleased with this qualification because some cars were faster than ours, which may not be surprising for the case but certainly more Red Bull with McLaren and Hamilton. Tomorrow we will try to advance the classification, but we know it will not be easy. It is certain that if we had ten more degrees on the track I should not complain, especially with medium tires, we fought hard and that's why I use the the tender of the Q1. The tire is very low, so it really does not penalize me for the race, the big unknown is the weather, we have the maximum support, which should help in the rain. In Anyway on a wet track will be essential to make the most of opportunities that come our way."

Germany GP : Alonso & Massa Friday quotes
Fernando Alonso :
"This Friday was like any other, quite ordinary. My first impressions of the car are very good. We have a very good support, good top speed and good grip. We are in the right direction, and it very well for us. The performance you can see the last few races are the result of hard work, the engineers working around the clock to give us a good car at each Grand Prix period. The temperatures are also important very important, and we"re not friends with very low temperatures. It will also be a very important element for qualifying and the race. My incident with Michael [Schumacher]? Nothing really important, he did not see me come I had to brake hard to avoid it. We will confirm tomorrow and Sunday."
Felipe Massa :
"It was a very good day, as we love them. We had a lot of work, which proved to be very profitable, especially we had no problems. We are reasonably happy with our competitiveness and reliability. While it is too early to place ourselves in relation to other for qualifying and the race, we can be pretty confident because we are performing. It is a very bumpy circuit and can be trapped at any time, that's what makes racing so exciting, attack while paying attention to our actions. So when you have a car fast and reliable, it's a real pleasure."
