No secret we have two different strategies - Symonds

By on

After a lot of speculation in the paddock on Fernando Alonso's fuel load, Pat Symonds admitted that Alonso and Piquet jr. are on significantly different strategies for this afternoon's Spanish Grand Prix.

Pat Symonds said: "Obviously there's some strategy involved in the qualifying result but I'm happy to see the fruit of what we've been working on the past few months and it's great to see that Nelson is in the top ten for the first time.

The Engineering Director of Renault added: "I don't think it's any secret that they're not both on the same strategy. It's a question of how each driver can use their strategy and Nelson still needs to learn and get the races under his belt so it's probably not a good idea to be quite as aggressive with him as we are with Fernando. We just want to see some good results and it's nice to be up there and it means a lot to us, but Sunday really counts."
