Fernando Alonso has no complaints

Fernando Alonso has no complaints with Ferrari's upgraded package but admits he still doesn't know where the Scuderia are.
Alonso was in action at Barcelona on Friday, the penultimate day of pre-season testing, taking over from team-mate Felipe Massa.
It was once again proved to be a productive day for Ferrari with the double World Champion covering 141 laps with a best time of 1:21.614, which put him second on the timesheets.
"Once again, the car has proved to be very reliable, which is always good news," Alonso told his team's official website.
"The updates that the team prepared for this last test have improved the handling of the car and we managed to do a good simulation of a grand prix weekend, with reasonable lap times.
"Where are we compared to the others? We are all together here in Barcelona... But joking apart, we will only discover the truth in Melbourne.
"Tyres used, fuel loads, test programmes: there are too many parameters in play and they can make a big difference in terms of outright performance.
"Right from the start of these tests, we have always concentrated on our own work, trying to improve the car and be reliable: how clever we have been, we will see in two weeks' time."
But while testing may have been the main focus at Barcelona, many in the paddock were thinking of the people in Japan with Alonso saying the tragedy makes one take note of life's priorities.
"Confronted with a tragedy like the one that has struck Japan, Formula 1 and all its problems to do with tyres, wings and engines is way down the list of priorities and my thoughts go first and foremost to the victims and their families," said the Spaniard.
