8:54 – Fernando Alonso is confident that he can return to the points-paying positions at the United States Grand Prix, off the back of a string of near-misses and incidents.
Alonso was involved in the first-lap clash in Singapore, believing that the clash cost him a shot at the podium, before he claimed back-to-back 11th-place finishes in Malaysia and Japan.
Alonso is sure that McLaren can creep into the top 10 if the operation maximises its potential at the Circuit of the Americas.
“I really enjoy spending time in the States and I have lots of happy memories there,” said Alonso, having already competed in the country earlier this year, at the Indianapolis 500.
