Formula One: Alonso confident ahead of Valencia

BERLIN: Fernando Alonso sees no reason why Ferrari should not be as strong as in the previous two races in this weekend’s European Grand Prix. The Spanish driver fought for victory in Monaco and was set to fight for the top place again in Canada before he was taken out of the race by McLaren’s Jenson Button. Alonso reckons the Valencia circuit should offer his team the chance to fight for its first win of the season again. “I know that our fans are eagerly awaiting our first win of the season and I can assure you that the same goes for us,” Alonso wrote on Ferrari’s website.
