Perhaps Kimi was a bit slower so we attacked, but second was the maximum today after starting sixth so it was a perfect Sunday again for us and we keep fighting until the end." We had to fight all through the race and have some good overtakings and a very good strategy to give us the possibility to fight until the end for the victory on the very last lap. "We were not super-competitive this weekend and we were sixth in qualifying after Sebastian's penalty. So we have to work at Maranello day and night to bring new parts and the mechanics at the track are doing their maximum to ensure that hopefully we can win. "But when you bring hundredths and your competitors also bring new parts, you are in the same position.
"I think they helped because when we got them to the track they gave us some performance, but we are talking about a few hundredths for each and for sure we still have a gap to close that is a matter of tenths," he said. The team had new front and rear wings, a new diffuser and new barge boards, but Alonso said the performance gains were not enough to narrow the gap to his championship rival Sebastian Vettel, who finished third after a grid penalty. Fernando Alonso said he felt second place was the maximum he could have achieved at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, adding that Ferrari needs to find more lap time from its updates at the remaining races.Īlonso drove a solid race from sixth to second on Sunday, but Saturday's qualifying exposed the F2012's weaknesses over one lap.
