Script:
SOUNDBITE (English) Fernando Alonso, Ferrari driver:
"Hello lets watch (the) on board camera for on the Indian circuit. We arrive around 300 kilometres per hour (kph) at the first corner. A corner that is in second gear. A good exit is important for the left corner and especially a good position for corner number three at 55 kph. Very, very slow corner. And now a long straight. Around 15 seconds flat out where you can use all the gears and DRS - all the things that we have. We arrive around 320 kph with some very heavy braking. A second gear corner. This is corner four which is important for a good exit for the next straight. After this straight we arrive at corner five and corner six and now we start the real challenging part of the circuit. A combination of high speed corners, chicanes. This is corner seven and eight. It is a high speed chicane at around 140 kph. And then corner number 10. The longest corner of the calendar. A right corner that is around six seconds that we spend on this corner. And then the last four corners. A chicane in fifth gear around 240 kph. The penultimate corner around 160 kph and now the last corner with heavy braking downshift to second gear and around 100 kph for entering the pit straight and finishing the lap. Very difficult part of the circuit with long straights at the beginning and a very challenging part at the end."
