Fernando Alonso said on Thursday that he and his Ferrari team plan to push defending champion Sebastian Vettel and Red Bull to breaking point at this weekend's Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. The 32-year-old Spaniard said he remained 100 per cent confident of winning his third drivers' world title - but recognised that mechanical reliability could be a key focus for both teams in the final three races. Speaking to reporters at the Yas Marina Circuit, he said Ferrari would try to be 'bullet proof' and test the fragility of the Red Bull team.
Alonso said: "Mechanical failures are always in the air. It is not only for them, it is for all of us. "Alonso said he expected Ferrari's pace to keep improving after encouraging signs in India but added he suspects Red Bull will still have some degree of pace advantage this weekend.
