The season has ended and although there were some good points, I'm not really happy about it.


I finished seventh overall, with one of the highlights being my second place in the Japanese Grand Prix. But next year I need to be better. Better prepared both physically and mentally.


I should have enough experience next year to fight for good positions and now we must work hard to make sure it happens.

"I don't think we quite nailed the set-up in the practice sessions.
...
At the beginning of this season, if it didn't go well after Friday practice, I thought "Ah well, it will be all right tomorrow" - but it didn't happen that way.
I had a few long chats with my engineers and with Renault boss Flavio Briatore and we thought this is not working like it should. We concluded I needed to work with the engineers more and understand the car better"


This is where Renault suffered from losing Alonso. The car wasn't a winner, but they could have done better.
