Fernando Alonso philosophical

BUDAPEST: Spaniard Fernando Alonso of Renault was philosophical about his failure to finish the Hungarian Grand Prix after he seemed to be in a position to take the top position on the podium. Alonso's car slewed and skidded into the tyre barriers with 18 laps to go while in the lead after a breathtaking charge from 15th place on the grid in wet conditions that caught out plenty of others.

Initial reports suggested a drive shaft failure was to blame.

``After the stop I had a feeling something was not in order. I wanted to get back to the box, but it was not possible,'' said Alonso. ``We were extremely fast at first. It's a shame. But it happens to everyone.

"The second corner was too much. But mechanical problems always happen to teams,'' he said. — Agencies
