Constructors' championship points are target for Renault driver
Fernando Alonso will not be going all out to win the Hungarian Grand Prix after claiming his first pole position for nearly two years in Budapest.
Following Saturday's qualifying the Renault driver insisted that his mind would be fixed firmly on the constructors' championship rather than personal glory.
The two-time former world champion said he was thinking only of scoring points for his team in what promises to be a tough 70-lap contest in hot conditions.
"This is a special circuit for me because I had my first win here in 2003 - so I am always happy when I drive in Budapest and it will be interesting tomorrow," said the 27-year-old Spaniard.
"We have made a good step forward and the car did improve in the last two races.
Competitive
"We are more competitive, but I don't think we are as quick as these two guys (the Red Bull team).
"So, we hope to score some good points tomorrow. We will try to win, but being honest and realistic, our target is to get some good points.
"After the last four races where we only scored points in the Nurburgring we need some points for the constructors' championship.
"We know if we start very heavy we go around eighth or ninth position so, we are aggressive this time.
"We did what we wanted for pole and from now on we will push for the race. We need to go for it."
