The title contenders are afraid of the mistake

Fernando Alonso, currently with Renault, believes that the fear of making mistakes is now the biggest challenge for Lewis Hamilton and Felipe Massa. The pressure is, in any case, stronger than winning the crown itself.

The Spaniard is familiar with this experience since, in 2005 and 2006, he won the driver’s title and last year finished one point behind Räikkönen, the 2007 world champion.

« More than the pressure that something is wrong with the car, there is also the fear of making a mistake, » said Alonso.

« You constantly think over the weekend that everything must go perfectly. You do not have the right to make a driving mistake, and the car must not experience any mechanical failures. »

« You expend a lot of energy thinking that something might go wrong, and it places a certain amount of pressure on your shoulders. »

« Each race will be difficult and unpredictable until the last minute in Brazil at the moment of the checkered flag. »

« Massa was destined to win the Hungarian Grand Prix and on the last lap he suffered an engine failure, you lose ten points. This can happen to anyone and the same thing might happen to Lewis, » the Iberian concluded!
