Alonso: Massa ought to win both races

Updated



Fernando Alonso heads the world championship table at the penultimate race of the season in Brazil. Despite that, the Spanish driver sees no change in his situation: "For sure, we're now a couple of points up on the others, but we saw in Korea how quickly things can change." Sebastian Vettel suffered engine failure and in one fell swoop dropped down from a possible top spot in the rankings to fourth position. Alonso suddenly found himself in his place.

From the Ferrari driver's point of view, one thing still counts: "Reliability has got to be our top priority. We aim to be on the podium for both races. We'll find out in Abu Dhabi, whether it's enough." Given his current way of thinking, Alonso would even be pleased for team-mate Felipe Massa to post a win.
