Although this guy is a master at selling himself, I don't get how people still believe him
ZitatTranslation: Fernando Alonso believes it is a miracle that he and the Ferrari team are still fighting for the F1 World Championship at this stage of the season. The Spanish rider has not given up and will prolong the fight for the title until the end, yet even knowing that Sebastian Vettel can stand as a 4th-time-WDC this weekend in Suzuka. However, taking into account the performance of the F138, Alonso believes that even being 77 points behind the German, the team has achieved a great achievement. "If someone begins to follow F1 just now and they tell him that the red car with blue helmet is fighting for the World Cup and remains second he would say that is not true, that it's a miracle. We've done a miracle for 15 runs, and I'll try to keep this miracle alive in the next five, "said Alonso. The Scuderia suffered a decline in performance in Korea race in which Alonso finished sixth, after having won three consecutive second places in Belgium, Italy and Singapore. However, the Spanish believed that, while Korea was difficult weekend, those second places were not representative of the corresponding place of Ferrari: "The three consecutive second places were above our performance. Had a car to be third, fourth or fifth. After three little miracles, we had a bad weekend in Korea and I think some means should be our goal in the next few races, fighting for podium positions.
"Time to get real" So, to get better race pace will be crucial for the Ferrari team whether to show better performance in Suzuka this weekend. Alonso is resigned to start the race from the third row maximum, but hopes to be more competitive on Sunday: "We must be realistic and think that Suzuka will be between the fifth and eighth place [on the grid], which is Normal. But what we need is to recover the performance we have on Sundays. usually do a good strategy, we have better degradation than others and we are fighting for the podium. That's what I hope to Suzuka ".

What is Jenson doing? Telling his life story " title="ha" />
I'm actually surprised the numbers are that low. Usually the pit wall has the drivers confirm they understood it's the lap to come into the box. Even if drivers only said that: that's 3 messages!
Even fourthessages doesn't seem like a lot to me. That's still less than a message per lap.. " title="dunno" />

quoteAbu Dhabi GP: Alonso suffered big impact in Vergne incident By Edd Straw and Matt Beer Sunday, November 3rd 2013, 17:40 GMT
Fernando Alonso has revealed that he had a big impact in his trip off-course while battling with Jean-Eric Vergne in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
The Spaniard will have precautionary checks in hospital, with the impact measured at 25g.
The Ferrari and Toro Rosso went wheel to wheel as Alonso emerged from his second pitstop alongside Vergne.
Alonso went outside the track limits to complete a pass.
The stewards were content this was legal as they agreed with Alonso's assessment that Vergne left him no room.
Alonso said afterwards that taking off over the kerbs had triggered the automatic g-loading sensor on his car that tells drivers when an impact is hard enough to make a medical examination necessary.
"I still have all my teeth after the impact," Alonso joked.
"My back is obviously in pain a little bit because it was a big hit.
"We have the alarm on the chassis that goes off when a minimum g-force [is exceeded] for the medical car etc, and the chassis has this alarm now in parc ferme.
"So for sure it was a big hit but I'm OK for Austin obviously."
Alonso added that he initially believed he would emerge behind the Toro Rosso anyway so was expecting to have to pass Vergne later in the lap.
"I wanted to come out behind to be honest, because then in Turn 4 I had the detection point and could pass on the DRS and with the good traction from the new softs," said the Spaniard.
"But I was side by side and already in front, so I was surprised and I was forced to go off the track.
"But 'plan A' was to pass him with the DRS."
He also admitted to some frustration at the attention the incident had earned given that he had managed to come through from 10th on the grid to finish fifth.
"I think it's a minor thing in a fantastic race that we had," added Alonso.

quote Alonso could miss Austin and pave way for Bianchi to make Ferrari debut
11 November, 2013
It is possible that Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso will not travel to Austin for this weekends United States Grand Prix, amid reports of a further rift between the Spaniard and his team and thus paving the way for Jules Bianchi to step up for the Maranello outfit.
The highly respected correspondent for Italys La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pino Allievi, said Ferrari president Luca di Montezemolo is not even remotely contemplating the prospect of the Spaniard sitting out the race.
But, after his high-G bump over the Abu Dhabi kerbs a week ago, Alonso admitted he was in back pain, while his manager Luis Garcia Abad tweeted an alarming photo of the driver strapped to a spinal board during a post-race hospital check.
Allievi said Ferrari did not like Abads dramatic photo, adding another small piece to Alonsos growing rift with the Italian team.
