Since winning the race in Malaysia, Fernando Alonso has urged his McLaren team to find more pace in the MP4-22, to beat Ferrari easily.

"After taking my first victory with the Vodafone McLaren Mercedes team on Sunday, I cannot wait to get back on track already this weekend in Bahrain," Alonso said. "There is a good feeling in the team at the moment and we all want to be out there racing and fighting for wins and points, but we also know that we need to find more speed and everyone is working hard on this."

"Like Sepang, the track at Bahrain has lots of space and always seems to lead to exciting racing," he added. "I won the Bahrain Grand Prix last year, and would like to try and repeat that result this weekend. We had a positive test here before the start of the season."
