Alonso reckons Red Bull Racing favourites for win in Bahrain

08 March 2010 @ 08:00 GMT - Ian de Beer

Ferrari's Fernando Alonso reckons the Red Bull Racing team is the favourites to win Sunday's Bahrain grand prix. The Spanish driver makes his debut for the Italian squad this season.

"I think Red Bull were a little bit ahead at the last test," Alonso said. Some of the other drivers have said that Alonso is the favourite to win. The Bahrain track is an unusual track and Alonso feels it would be hard to predict a winner.

Alonso also feels that the racing will be close this season. "There will be four or five drivers in the fight. I'd like to know who it will be," he said. The double world champion says he won't be disappointed if he fails to win the title this season.

"This is sport, not everything is two plus two. Winning a world championship is not a logical thing and it would not be a disappointment, even if we will work hard so that we do not disappoint our fans," he said.
