Renault F1 driver Fernando Alonso is getting ready for the upcoming French GP. For Renault this is considered the home race and the team expects to do well at the venue. This could generate more pressure on Alonso, however, he is ready to give the best regardless of where they are racing.
In an interview for renaultf1.com Alonso declared that he is not expecting any extra pressure from racing at Magny-Cours in a Renault:
"No, not really. It doesn't bring any added pressure, either for me or the team. We are always doing our very best, regardless of the context. This race will be a big event for Renault, and especially for the guys from Viry-Châtillon. There would be no better place to get a good result than Magny-Cours! However, Formula 1 is always difficult: it's impossible to make any firm predictions." He said.
Alonso likes the track but he can not say if the configuration will perfectly fit his car:
"I think it's a good track. As for whether we will perform well there, it's hard to say. In any case, I usually enjoy the French Grand Prix weekend: the circuit is good, just like the weather! For me, the best parts of the track are the two quick chicanes: the car needs to be very good at quick changes of direction. It is a special feeling for the driver through here." He added. "The end of the lap is very different. From what I can see, they should help overtaking, and the new chicane just before the start-finish line looks pretty interesting!"
