Alonso says Ferrari has improved Ferrari drivers Fernando Alonzo and Felipe Massa unveil the lego Ferrari. The man who came within three points of leading Ferrari to the 2012 formula one world championship says he's starting this season with a better car. Fernando Alonso begins his fourth season with the Italian outfit looking to finally overcome the domination of Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel and go one better this year. "I hope so," the 2005 and 06 world champion said Thursday. We finished second two times, this year we can fight for the championship again and fight for the result. Alonso said he expected Red Bull and McLaren to again be the teams to beat in Sunday's Australian Grand Prix. It is an unpredictable race in terms of how quick everyone is because we don't really know after winter. We respect that Red Bull and McLaren are very strong ... but also Ferrari we have improved the car a lot ... it will be interesting I think. Every year you start with the best motivation, it doesn't matter what happened or how you finished in the championship ... We really need to chase this result and this year we have a better car to start the championship. Alonso finished fifth in last year's Melbourne event and says the Albert Park circuit poses some difficult challenges for drivers. (Its a) very challenging track, very difficult, (there are) some blind corners that you really need to guess the entry of the corners because you can't see the exits. All the straights they are not straight they are corners which especially in wet conditions can make it difficult ... You need to really know this track and hopefully we can use this experience to maximise the result. Alonso and his teammate Felipe Massa on Thursday unveiled a full scale ferrari formula one car modelled from Lego building blocks.
