The Spaniard also finished the routine five seasons at Ferrari, where he is now racing his fellow countryman Carlos Sainz, who managed to get on the first podium of his life on Sunday with a red car, and it seems that everyone was very happy with his success, especially in his homeland.
The two-time world champion won numerous victories and podiums for Maranello Guard, and he also fought for the championship title several times. However, Sainz was only fourth on the Ferraris podium in two seasons, yet Alonso feels there has been a greater celebration in this regard than there was when he was at Scuderia.
“I remember five or six years ago, when I was able to get nine or ten podiums a year, second place was like a funeral for me at the press conference because people were constantly asking when I would win.”
“Now, when I think about the fact that I have 97 podiums, I don’t think that those gained in the past five to six years have really been taken into consideration or respected enough.” Alonso said a little bit, maybe bitterly.
I also spoke to him on the network before the hymn. He was actually on the podium until then, because Leclerc was having trouble. And with the Potash problem, the situation just got better. It’s a good start for him in the league. We hope we can see him winning the race soon. “
“However, it is known that on the normal track, maybe Mercedes and Red Bull are still ahead. It was an opportunity, and he managed to seize it, which is a good thing of course.” When Alonso can reach such heights again it is still questioned, but he said that this weaker performance was only one time from the team.
