Fernando Alonso who was born 29 July 1981 will once more celebrate his birthday in Hungary: "As was the case in 2010, I will again celebrate my birthday at the track with the Scuderia," he said on Ferrari’s blog page . "On Friday I will turn thirty: who knows maybe I will get a nice birthday surprise…" Last weeks were great for Alonso and Ferrari after a disappointing opening races at the beginning of the 2011 season. The double World Champion finished second at the European and German Grand Prix with a British GP victory sandwiched in-between and with warmer temperatures Ferrari seems to have higher hopes than what they did in Germany.
Despite their impressive form, Alonso feels they are still lacking when it comes to qualifying. "We have made up a lot of ground compared to the very early part of the season in terms of performance, but we must take a further step forward, as I have said so often before," he said. "We still lack something, especially in qualifying: it’s true that in the race we can make up for this, but it’s not always possible to move up two places compared to our grid position, as happened in Monaco, Valencia, Silverstone and Nurburgring. "At the Hungaroring, the weather should be more in keeping with summer, which is no bad thing as I’ve had enough of the cold and damp we experienced in England and Germany! That goes not just for me, but also for our car: it would definitely work better in temperatures higher than the 13° we had last Sunday."
Also this race will always hold something special for Fernando since it was here where he took he’s first taste of victory in formula1 back in 2003.
