Fernando Alonso does not want to make any prediction for this weekend's Bahrani Grand Prix. He is aware that it will be a tough race for the drivers based on the heat and the lack of knowledge of the track. "Bahrain will be similar to Malaysia in terms of tyres and cooling, so I think we can be confident in those areas. It will certainly be a tough race for the drivers. But beyond that, who knows? It is really impossible to make predictions but, with even more work to do than usual, the weekend will need to run very smoothly to fight at the front of the field." He said. "To be honest, it's the same as usual: a combination of getting everything right. You need the right tyres, a good car, engine, the drivers cannot make mistakes and also some luck. I don't think the factors change just because it is a new circuit."

Alonso has never been to the region and he is looking forward to know it:

"It will be interesting for everybody, I think: for sure, adapting to the circuit and the technical side will be a challenge, but it will also be an interesting week away from the track: every time you visit a new country, you learn something new, see new things and have experiences that are different from home. It is one of the nice things about Formula 1, visiting new places and new cultures. I am looking forward to it." He added.
