Podemos vir a ter uma 1.ª curva complicada!
Outro dado a reter é q o Alonso tem sensivelmente a mesma gasolina q o Hamilton!
"Fernando Alonso says he will try to overtake fellow McLaren driver and championship Lewis Hamilton at Indianapolis' tricky first corner on Sunday.
The Spaniard tried a similar move on the first lap in Montreal one week ago, after also qualifying behind his rookie team-mate, but ran wide and fell down the order.
Alonso hit the gravel in Barcelona last month too, when attempting to pass Felipe Massa at turn one.
He told Spanish reporters at Indianapolis: "I am going to try it; especially as the track is so wide."
Alonso denied that his team boss Ron Dennis will instruct him to play it safe, even though one year ago at Indianapolis both McLarens - then driven by Kimi Raikkonen and Juan Pablo Montoya - crashed out after a clash.
"No, we have the freedom to fight," Alonso insisted, adding that his starting fuel load is ‘very similar’ to pole sitter Hamilton's.
Alonso also explained that he opted to sweep the unused inside part of the US GP grid on Saturday after realising that his last qualifying lap would not be quick enough to beat Hamilton."
