Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, in brief 

The sport’s first twilight race in Abu Dhabi saw Fernando Alonso and Romain Grosjean finish in 14th and 18th places respectively.

 

  • Fernando Alonso, R2901, P14
     “The result today is disappointing as we were not able to produce the performance we wanted. I would have liked to finish the season on a high, especially as this was my last race with Renault. I would like to thank the entire team for everything that we have achieved together over the years. We had some great victories and won championships together. It has been the most amazing seven years of my career and something I will never forget.”
  • Romain Grosjean, R2903, P18
     “The race today was disappointing. I made a good start but I was blocked several times. I also suffered with some brake problems during the race. Towards the end I unfortunately lost a place to Fisichella, which was a shame, but the performance of the car didn’t really allow me to show what I was capable of today. It’s now the end of the season and I can say that I have learnt an enormous amount this year, especially being teammate to Fernando.”
