Strategy looks set to play a huge role in this year's Championship as the new Pirelli tyres, which have high wear, could see drivers needing three or even four pit stops during a grand prix.But despite this, Alonso is confident the best car will be the one that emerges victorious at the end of the season.
"As usual in F1, the quickest or best car will win the Championship in the end," the Ferrari driver told Autosport.
"Strategy is important, maybe one or two races will be decided by a very good strategy or someone very quick can have a mistake in a strategy point of view and lose that victory.
"But over 20 races or 19 races you can make mistakes one time in strategy or you can do a very good strategy one time but not every race, so in the end the most important thing will be to have the quickest car and we are working for that."
Added to that the Spaniard, who lost out on last year's World title due to a botched call from his pit wall in the season finale in Abu Dhabi, says teams will need to be flexible in their strategies.
"There are many possibilities this year. It is not like last year so that will be the most important thing.
"Sometimes it is better to sacrifice some laps that you know you are very slow at the end of the run, but maybe you make one stop less.
"It is a difficult call and a difficult judgement that we will need to make. We will need to be very open and very flexible in every race."
