Speaking after today's second free practice session, Fernando Alonso attempted to clarify the comments he made at yesterday's press conference.
"I was surprised by the strong reaction to what I said yesterday in the press conference," he admitted. "I expressed very clearly that these were only my personal feelings, and that I completely understand and accept the team's decisions.
"Last night, I explained that to the team and to Fisi, and there is no problem.
"Every single person at Renault is fighting to the maximum to win the championship," he added. "I don't know what people see from the outside, but within the team, we have a fantastic atmosphere right now. And we are determined to come out on top."
