FISI AIMS TO DETHRONE ALONSO

ITV

Giancarlo Fisichella has set his sights on winning the 2006 Formula 1 world championship with Renault.

The Italian was forced to watch as his team-mate Fernando Alonso swept to glory last year while he struggled through a season of misfortune and missed opportunity.

But this year Fisi hopes it will be his turn to stand in the sun.

"I am aiming for the world championship," Fisichella said at the launch of the team's R26 chassis in Monaco.

"This is a team that is defending the world title and working hard to win it again, so I am looking forward to a great season. I want to score points, win races and be in the fight for the championship until the last races of the season."

The Roman ace says that early signs from testing have given him the impression that the R26 could be just as competitive as its predecessor and he admits he is confident in the new car.

"When I got in the car in Jerez, it felt good straight away," he said.

"I remember in 2005, my first run was a very nice surprise

Probably.

I predict that FA will blow his doors off again. Renault won't favour GF.I f they want to win it again this year, they'll put their efforts behind FA, who's more than up for it even if he's Woking bound.

Flavio has always tended to build a team around a certain driver,it was the same at Benetton with Michael now is the same with Fernando at Renault, and if a driver has a lot of talent this is a solution that can turn out to be competitive,history teach us....Look at Jean Todt,he hired Michale then he did simply what Flavio had done at Benetton and Ferrari started to dominate..So,like Barrichello had no chances to beat Schu at Ferrari despite his pre season claims,the same is for Fisi at Renault

I think he'll lose out to Alonso, but the gap won't be as large as 2005, it'll be alot closer, especially towards the end of the year when the team will most likely phase Alonso out of testing new bits since he's off to McLaren next year.

True....FA will for sure be better than GF but as the season will go to the end GF if he stays at Renault will have an advantage.

Goooooooooooooooooooooooo Fizzy, thrash that <CENSORED>

Seriously, I don't think Alonso is his darling any more, now that Alonso is ot letting him have a slice of his pie. Remember he changes his darlings pretty frequently, both the female ones and his male prot

I disagree, I think Alonso matured a fair bit and was alot more consistent. Of course, having a top car helped, but he did the job with it, and that's all he could do.

I agree with you there, the talent that Alonso has is consistancy and thinking about the longer run. He seems to be very good at looking at a situation and making a decision which will help him for the Championship win not the a race win. As for Kimi for example he doesnt have the same style he basically all out drive as fast as you can and get to the finish as fast as you can taking as many risks as possible. But as for Fisi he can beat Alonso (with some help by the team) but I dont think he will, he has turned out to me in my eyes a talent which was at its best a while back (97 98 99 00 area).
