Alonso excited for "unpredictable" Interlagos

McLaren driver Fernando Alonso is "looking forward" to his last ever F1 race at the "unpredictable" Interlagos Circuit in Brazil.

Alonso has now had two DNFs in a row in the United States and Mexico, as he enters the final stages of his illustrious Formula One career.

However, the Spaniard is very keen to forget about the disappointing last two races and focus on the task at hand in Brazil, and then a final showdown in Abu Dhabi.

"I'm looking forward to putting the last two race weekends behind me and focussing on extracting the performance we have been working hard to maximise in our car, but haven't been able to show," Alonso said.

"I haven't had the chance to fight for a couple of grands prix now, so I hope we can have a clean battle and show what's possible."

Alonso has 32 grands prix wins to his name, in an excellent career - but the Interlagos win eludes the McLaren driver.

"The Brazilian fans are always super passionate and it's clear Interlagos is one of those legendary tracks that is so famous in the motorsport world," Alonso said. "Great champions have driven on this circuit, and with this year's cars, it'll feel even faster and more exciting than before.

"It's a track where great races have taken place and it's always a little bit unpredictable."
