Alonso Glad the F1 Season Is Almost Over
Despite the improvements made by the team over the course of the season, two-time champion Alonso admitted that Suzuka wasn't a circuit that favoured McLaren's MP4-31.
"Our race today reflected the whole weekend: it was just anonymous," he said. "To finish 16th and 18th today is a nasty surprise, especially after finishing seventh in Singapore, and seventh and ninth in Malaysia, just last weekend."
"It was clear that the layout of the track didn't suit our package - we lacked downforce for the faster corners," he added. "I know our car is much more competitive than we were able to show today, and I'm disappointed about putting on such a poor show at Honda's home race."
