Fernando Alonso “positive and looking forward”

Despite an early exit from the Malaysian grand prix on lap 2, Fernando Alonso is still “positive and looking forward”.

Speaking to autosport, Ferrari team boss Stefano Domenicali said “Of course he’s not happy to come away with zero points, but he’s positive and looking forward because he knows we have something to play with.

“The championship is very long. It’s important we stay cool and deliver our best.

“In terms of development, as everyone will do, we try to develop the car and this is the target for every race.”
