The Spaniard led the way for greatly of the year but was compressed to the title by a resurgent Sebastian Vettel, who tempest through to his third consecutive coronet with a fine run of form towards the end of the campaign.

Alonso will be enthusiastic to try and make compensation this year when the new period starts in Australia but he insisted there was no extra heaviness on him to succeed simply because of his missed occasion last year.

“I don't think there is essentially a responsibility to win,” he said. “Sport means sacrifice, work, and pleasure of what one does and for the past three years, I've been auspicious to be in the fight for significant targets. There are 24 drivers in Formula 1 and few of them can articulate they have won races and typically finished on the platform.”

The double winner also insisted that Ferrari would give him a improved car than in 2012, where the team resist to get the best from its machine contrast to its rivals.

F1 - Fernando Alonso and Red Bull kick off the F1 Mind games

Helmut Marko, a close consultant to Red Bull's billionaire owner Dietrich Mateschitz, dissimilarity triple world winner Vettel's approach to Alonso's in an interview with the company's in-house Red Bulletin journal. The Austrian said the 25-year-old German, who beat Alonso to the title last year, was a occurrence who "shuts himself off from the respite of the world, so that he can still call on treasury that other drivers strength not have".

"I consider we saw the stress he (Alonso) was under towards the end of the period. Saying clothes like, 'I'm rival against (Lewis) Hamilton, not Vettel,' and 'I'm up beside (Red Bull designer Adrian) Newey'," added Marko. "These emotional combat - we said: 'Just ignore him." Alonso had a 42-point benefit over Vettel at the mid-season break last year but wrecked up behind out to the Red Bull driver by three points.

As the combat heated up, so too did the emotional warfare and even as he illustrious the designation Vettel spoke out about what he saw as 'dirty tricks' and endeavor to disquiet him and the team. Alonso, who was designated driver of the season by team principals for the way he took the struggle to Red Bull in a less aggressive Ferrari, made light of Marko's explanation and twisted them back on his competitor instead.

"It seems to me that Webber has on standard two races per year where he is indisputable, but he can't preserve this form during the year," he said. "As soon as his predictions start to look good in the world contest, he has a little problem with the anxiety that this creates. In assessment with Seb's rising form, it seems to me that Mark's forms somehow compress out.

Webber had the superior chance of attractive the title in 2010 when he and Alonso were the top two leaving into the final race, but Vettel seized the crown instead for the first of three championships in a row. That, Marko optional, had been a psychological blow by the younger man that had chew at Webber's poise.
