Fernando Alonso concedes he's going to need a "super performance" in the latter part of this year's Championship if he wants to prove he's still the best in F1.
Driving for Renault, Alonso has no chance of winning this year's Drivers' Championship title as the Anglo/French squad doesn't have a car capable of beating the McLarens and Ferraris.
However, the double World Champion believes he can still prove he's the best in F1 even without winning the title, although in order to do so he going to need to put in a performance that is better than the car.
"I'll keep fighting for a podium or even a victory this year because that will prove that I'm still here," Alonso told F1 Racing magazine.
"I want to prove to everybody that I'm still the best so I need a super performance to do that, which means a podium or a win.
"And I'll be trying to do it in the second part of the season."
And even though race wins haven't been forthcoming in the first part of this year's campaign, Alonso insists he's motivation hasn't waned compared to previous seasons when victories were the norm.
"There was a bit of frustration when I saw that I wouldn't win races or get on the podium," he admitted. "But it's still a challenge to beat our main opponents and thats the motivation to keep doing my best."
