Fernando Alonso says he believes that McLaren will play fair in Brazil by treating him and Lewis Hamilton equally - but has reiterated his belief that the team is conspiring against him
Having already won the Constructors' Championship, Ferrari are still on track to add the Drivers' title to their list with Kimi Raikkonen seven points behind Lewis Hamilton and four adrift of Fernando Alonso in the standings. Raikkonen therefore needs the win, or at worst second place, and for his team-mate Felipe Massa to run interference if he hopes to clinch his first-ever Drivers' title. "If we look at the next race, we don't have any other choice than to be aggressive in a way, so we need to think that we need to achieve first and second and then that's it," said the Scuderia's sporting director Stefano Domenicali. "That, for sure, will be our strategy. "The most important thing is that we are really working very well together and we know that the only thing we need is to be feet on the ground and try to respond with the results, and that's it, and that is the reason why we are here. "So it's good to back in Brazil with the chance to win also the second Championship, that's for sure." Domenicali also believes putting a bit of extra pressure on the already over-stressed shoulders of the McLaren drivers won't do Ferrari's chances of winning any harm. "It's already difficult because we need to be first and second and then we will see, but for sure, with all due respect, we understand that the pressure is high on both of their drivers," he said. "The only thing that I can say is to focus on our job and that's it to be honest. We respect the work of the others but what we are going to do is to try to put pressure on them, that's for sure."
