Alonso remains confident for Turkish victory

By on

Double World Champion, Fernando Alonso, will start tomorrow's Turkish Grand Prix from 4th position, but he still believes he has a chance of winning at Istanbul. The Spaniard is 7 points behind his team mate Lewis Hamilton in the standings.

Alonso said: "It is always better to start at the front, in front of everybody if possible, not only my teammate. It is true that I need to recover seven points and it is not the perfect way to recover the points by starting behind but the points are tomorrow afternoon and hopefully I can finish in front of everybody tomorrow.

"It is not impossible to win the race starting fourth, it all depends about the race pace but nobody knows which one will be the strongest run because yesterday the maximum run was eight or nine laps for everybody so who knows what will happen in a 20 lap run in the race.

"I am really, really confident about the strategy and the long run pace and I will try to recover some pace tomorrow."
