Fernando Alonso completed 137 laps at Jerez on Saturday on his way to setting the sixth fastest time on the clocks. The Spaniard isn't worried about the times seen at the top end of the timing sheets, though, as Champion Jenson Button completed the fastest lap on the final day of testing in south-east Spain; Alonso believes that McLaren were showing off their pace while Ferrari focussed mainly on reliability rather than the F10's abilities to set quick laps.
"I think that someone showed his muscles on Saturday, while we didn't," the Champion of 2005 and 2006 said in Jerez. "We'll see in Barcelona - when we'll show up with the latest updates - where we are compared to the others. We can say that we're on the right way.
"Over these two days in the dry I could drive many miles and I'm satisfied by the car's performance and reliability. The F10 is growing very well and there's nothing that should worry us. We worked on the long run today and the signs we got are really positive.
"Naturally, we have to improve because we're not at max pace, but we're getting there. Where do we have to improve? There's always something to do but telling you would mean I'd be like a goalie telling you about his weak point, so all the strikers would hit there!"
Alonso will be back on-track for Ferrari at the Circuit de Catalunya for Formula 1's final week of testing ahead of the 2010 World Championship, sharing the cockpit equally over the four days of running with new team-mate Felipe Massa, who will drive over the course of the weekend.
