We Need A Ferrari Problem.

Fernando Alonso has ruled out any chances of winning the Ferrari’s unless the red cars have a big problem, unfortunately Kimi Räikkönen will not have to change his engine.

So, this means that means that Alonso and Lewis will be pressuring Felipe Massa and Kimi Räikkönen all the way to the finish, clearly McLaren are happy with their reliability, and they believe they can fight Ferrari to the end.

"It will be difficult to beat them, but I think we need to push them," he said. "In Australia, they had two mechanical problems - one on Massa's car, on Saturday, and Kimi nearly on Sunday. So, we need to be there if we want to win. We have to push them to the limit."

"I think the gap in Australia was too big, too much," Alonso reflected. "Now, even if we develop the car, the gap will be closer because we made some improvements, but we still have a little bit more to do."

"But Ferrari have been quickest in both sessions, with Massa and Kimi in the top positions as well, so I think Ferrari will again be our main competitor. If we are going to be on pole position or win the race then we need to beat them. They are the team to beat at the moment."
