“Fernando Alonso is no surprise to me,” that’s what Stefano Domenicali said about the great performance of the Asturian pilot in his first race with Alpine, in which he finished third and took the podium.
Speaking to ‘Sport Mediaset,’ the F1 boss says that while the British team is able to be consistent and give a good car, the double champion will be in the fight.
“Fernando, if you have a car that gives you the opportunity to opt for a sporting result, is still a very strong driver,” spoke the one who was the boss of Alonso himself during his stage in Ferrari.
In fact, qualifying the result of Fernando at Alpine as the most “interesting” thing that has happened so far in the new season.
“It’s a very good situation and is the most interesting element that emerged after the first outings on the track,” he added.
It must be remembered that Domenicali and Alonso have always had a great relationship. The Italian was Fernando’s big supporter during his years in red, and since then, he hasn’t missed the chance to congratulate the driver who came closest to victory with Ferrari since Kimi Raikkonen in 2007.
