Fernando Alonso: 'Nothing to lose'

Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso has admitted that he has nothing to lose going into the Brazilian Grand Prix, the final race of the season.

Alonso is 13 points behind championship leader Sebastian Vettel of Red Bull, and the Spaniard has said that "the only possibility is to win something" with his outside chance of claiming the title.

"It would be good to be on the podium to score a minimum of 15 points and when we cross the line we will see where Seb is and we will try and do the numbers after that," Alonso said.

"The first priority is to be on the podium, which gives us possibility to score more than 13 points, and then we need to wait for the result from Red Bull.

"It is not in our hands, we have not much to lose; the only possibility is to win something. If he wins, fine. We try again next year."

Red Bull wrapped up the constructors' championship at the United States Grand Prix.
