Following his return with the diamond brand, Fittipaldi predicts a bright future for him and a place as a contender for the 2008 title&#8230; if, and only if, Alonso&#8217;s return has sparked the necessary motivation within the French team&#8217;s staff.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab Thanks to Fernando [Alonso]&#8217;s skills, the performances of the engineers and Briatore were optimized.
