Last lap charge from Fernando Alonso
　
It was a mixed afternoon for the Renault team
as Fernando Alonso finished the Belgian Grand Prix in a solid fourth place,
while team-mate Nelson Piquet retired in the early stages.
　
Alonso在比利時拿下第四，但隊友Piquet卻提前退賽，這對雷諾來說真是五味雜陳。
　
　
　
The weather played a key role this afternoon,
with the race getting underway on a circuit
that was damp in parts and dry in others.
Both drivers opted to begin on dry weather tyres
and made good progress during the opening lap
as Alonso rose to fourth and Piquet joined him in the top eight.
　
比賽在賽道部分乾部分濕的情況下進行，天氣扮演著極為重要的關鍵。
兩位車手都選擇以乾胎起跑，且在起跑圈都表現得不錯，
Alonso上升到第四位，Piquet也上到了前八。
　
　
　
Alonso held strong in fourth through to the finish,
surviving the late race rain shower
as he switched to wet weather tyres in the closing stages.
However, Piquet's race was brief as he spun into retirement
on the approach to the Fagnes chicane on lap 15.
　
儘管在比賽快結束前的雨讓Alonso又進一次pit換雨胎，他仍在最後保住了第四的位置。
然而隊友Piquet卻在第15圈接近Fagnes彎時打滑撞上護欄而提前退賽。
　
　
　
Fernando Alonso
　
We finished fourth after a difficult race with plenty of incidents.
It's a good result for the team,
especially for our position in the championship
because our objective was to score some important points.
We missed out on a podium today,
but we have shown that
we can be the third strongest team in the championship.
　
由於比賽中發生的許多事件，讓我們拿下第四，
這對車隊來說是個很好的結果，因為我們的目標就是獲得積分。
儘管我們這次仍無法站上頒獎台，但這已經證明我們擁有前三強車隊的實力。
　
　
　
Nelson Piquet
　
The plan was to run a one-stop strategy today and so my car was heavy on fuel.
I made a good start and gained five places, which was encouraging,
but there were still some damp patches on the circuit and I made a mistake.
It's a shame because I'm sure we could have done something today.
I want to remain positive and I'm now looking forward to Monza,
where we tested last week. I hope we can have a strong race there.
　
我們原本的計畫就是一站制，所以我是重油載。
我的起跑很好而且前進了五個位置，這真是振奮人心！
但因為有部分賽道仍然潮濕，讓我發生了失誤。
這真的很丟臉，我原本還確信我們今天可以做得很好的。
但我還是樂觀的期待在Monza的比賽，我們上禮拜在那兒測試過，希望可以有好的表現。
　
　
　
Flavio Briatore, Managing Director
　
We had a good strategy today and Fernando did everything right,
which paid us back with a fourth place just behind the top two teams.
It's an encouraging result
that we are pleased to score for ING in the Belgian Grand Prix,
and we now want to maintain this momentum for Monza next week.
We are confident that we can continue fighting back
in the constructors' championship.
　
我們這次的策略很好，Alonso也表現得非常好讓我們拿到僅僅落後於兩強車隊的第四。
我們很高興能在比利時大賽得到積分，這對車隊是很大的鼓舞，
希望在下周Monza的比賽我們也能保持這股士氣。
我們有信心能在車隊排名上爭取更棒的成績。
　
　
　
Pat Symonds, Executive Director of Engineering
　
Once again, unpredictability produced a superb race.
It's pleasing for us that the car was very quick in the dry conditions
and that we achieved a good finishing position through fantastic driving
from Fernando and good team work from everyone.
Our target is fourth position in the championship
and today was a good step towards that.
　
又一次，在毫無預警下我們打了很棒的一戰！
很高興車子在乾胎時跑得非常快，
且在Alonso絕佳的技術與車隊大夥兒的合作下，我們以不錯的位置完賽。
我們的目標是車隊第四，而今天無疑是邁向這目標的一大步。
