Alonso: McLaren is ready for Australian GP now

MONTMELO, Spain -- Despite a series of reliability issues during pre-season testing, Fernando Alonso insists his McLaren could go racing tomorrow if it needed to.

McLaren has completed the least amount of laps of any team over the six days of testing and has suffered on-track breakdowns during four of them. There are just two days of testing left -- and only one day in the car for Alonso -- but the two-time world champion is not concerned.

"In terms of the fundamental answers we needed to gather over the winter test, they are already OK and we have all of them -- so I don't need the last day to be honest," Alonso said.
