Simple math says that Alonso could bag his 3rd world title in career with a 2nd place, a position in which he won't have to think about either of the two Red Bull racers. In order for that to happen however, the Scuderia must provide the Spaniard with a strong car, as the track in Abu Dhabi is known to favor the characteristics of the Red Bull RB6.
And Ferrari's boss Stefano Domenicali echoed just that when he was asked about his approach towards the season finale.
“We will not change our approach. We need to be focused on our side. We don't have to make very difficult calculations. We know that if we are in-between the two Red Bulls it is fine, but apart from that we have to make sure that we are fast, do a perfect qualifying and then we need to do the best we can,” said Domenicali.
“And we will need to wait until the last metre because reliability is a big point that everyone will be worried about, not only with the engine but with everything. It will be a very long race in Abu Dhabi.”
“For sure Red Bull are stronger because they have two drivers instead of one, so they are in a better position in some respects, but we have to look inside not what the others are doing. We have to do the fastest race, the fastest qualifying and who will win will deserve the championship from hell.”
