Alonso, Ferrari Eye Victory In Abu Dhabi

Fernando Alonso and his Ferrari team will be seeking to erase memories of a nightmare weekend in 2010 when they challenge for glory in the penultimate race of the Formula One season, Sunday’s ‘twilight’ Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

The two-time champion endured a race to forget last year when he arrived in Abu Dhabi as one of four contenders for the drivers’ title, but departed hugely disappointed after failing to find any passing power on his way to seventh.

Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull lifted the title, aged just 23, to become the sport’s youngest champion and then went on to defend that crown with a series of near-flawless performances this year.
