Turkey Grand Prix 2011 – Qualifying Results

   Fernando Alonso sees the first light at the end of the tunnel, according to gpupdate.net.
“Fifth place is not the sort of result you can be pleased about, but today I am happy because I felt the car was more competitive than it has been in the first three qualifying sessions of the season,” he said. “Getting into Q2 without using the Soft tyres is significant, We have made a small step forward in terms of performance; it’s not yet enough and we quickly need to make a bigger one, but it’s definitely a confidence boost for the whole team, who are working in the right direction. I would say that this is the first sign of light at the end of the tunnel in this early part of the season, finally, I want to take the opportunity to express my great sadness over the death of a great personality in Spanish sport, Seve Ballesteros, who put Spain on the golfing map. I offer all my sympathies to those close to him at this painful time.”
