Fernando Alonso urged Ferrari to be best in this second half to win the championship.

Speaking to an interview on Ferrari's website, he said “There are seven races to go now, so anything can happen. We all start from zero so we need to be the best in this last part of the championship if we want to win.

 

“I think we all start from zero. I think no one feels the leader of the championship and no one feels fifth in the championship. We all feel a group and it’s time to deliver now.”

 

He said, he is happy with the current position of Ferrari in the championship.

 

“I think we have to be happy with our championship so far."

 

“We’ve had some good races and some disappointing races as well, but overall I think we are in a position now really close to the leader, a very short distance. We are five drivers fighting for the championship so we are there."

 

However, he was also a tad disappointed that Ferrari were not up to Red Bull's pace last weekend at Hungary.

 

“I think at Ferrari we always need to think about the win,” he said. “We need to aim for pole positions, for victories every race we go to. But in Hungary obviously this was not possible. We were not as quick as our competitors, as Red Bull. So it was a bit of a disappointment.

 

He was however optimistic and looked forward to Ferrari making the best of the upcoming races.

 

“That was a perfect circuit for Red Bull and we knew that and we need to remain calm. The championship is 19 races and the for the overall picture I think Ferrari has a competitive package.

 

“But in the end we know there will be some circuits that will suit our car and we need to take the opportunities as we did in Germany. And there will be some circuits that maybe are not perfect for our characteristics, so we need to make the best of the race as we did in Hungary.”

 

“We are in a position in which we can take the lead of the championship if we win one race, so we have to remain calm.”
