Points leader staying with strategy despite shrinking lead
Alonso not changing ways
YEONGAM, South Korea – Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso sees no reason to change his attacking tactics at this weekend's Korean Grand Prix, even though his lead in the Formula One drivers' championship has been reduced to just four points over defending champion Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull.
Alonso has won three races this year but hasn't taken the checkered flag since the German GP in July. His lead was slashed further when he crashed out at the first turn of last weekend's Japanese GP, where Vettel earned a second consecutive victory.
"We've been attacking all races, the approach to all races is to get maximum points," Alonso said Thursday. "Sometimes we've been on the podium, sometimes fourth or fifth. We can't overdrive or over-do what is needed for us. This will not change now."
