F1’s Beyond the Grid-a podcast in the latest episode was a guest of ferrari’s long-time president Luca di Montezemolo, with whom the talk was, inter alia, the Fernando Alonso era of the Italian team.Luca di Montezemolo and Fernando Alonso could not get to celebrate the world championships as common Ferrari-years (2010-2014). Near it was twice, in 2010 and 2012. AOP
the 23-year era of Ferrari as president include the Italian manufacturer’s F1-history’s most successful period. Total Ferrari get to celebrate montezemolo, under the leadership of six drivers ‘and eight manufacturers’ world championship title.
Montezemolo was appointed in November 1991 and he quit in September 2014.
His last Ferrari-years in the garage from the driver side twice – in 2010 and 2012 – really close to the championship, but Fernando Alonso lost Sebastian Vettel first four, then three points.
Last season at the conclusion of the F1-series of retreat over Alonso, 37, has been considered generally generation best, including the driver, which mirrored Spanish two world titles (at Renault in 2005-2006) seemed quite small balance.
Montezemolo agrees with this F1’s recent Beyond the Grid-a podcast, though he said Alonso was the ferrari of particular misfortune.
– He was unlucky when he was in a Ferrari when Red Bull was at the same level or at least close to what Ferrari had in the early 2000s. Red Bull was clearly the best car, Montezemolo said.
– Performance of Fernando was really good. I think he is on the same level Lewis Hamilton and Vettel. In a competitive situation he is really close Michael Schumacher . She was and still is a fantastic driver. He did not lose the 2010 and 2012 championships of its own mistakes, and if he would have won (with us) one of the championship, talk about this day very differently.
a very Difficult person,
One reason for alonso’s potential for lower levels of success have been considered, that the Spanish have never been so straightforward or easy person. Alonso has always known his worth and, at times, also acting according to it.
Montezemolo confirms its part also of this view.
He had Alonso, is Alonso–Ferrari. When he wins, he’s happy. When he doesn’t win, it’s the garage’s fault, Montezemolo confirmed.
Montezemolo likened in this respect, Alonso, inter alia, Schumacheriin and Niki Laudaan , who were, in his opinion, what the best examples of a team player.
He was in the garage with more distant than Michael or Niki, especially in difficult moments. Easy moments is easy to be a garage nearby.
When the F1 share Montezemolo interview with your own Twitter account, saatetekstinä was used just this part of the interview: ”When he wins, he’s happy. When he doesn’t win, it’s the garage’s fault.”
a Couple of hours later the tweet had ended up also Alonso to see, and the six crying laughter emoji from the looks of it, amused the spaniards greatly. But he also takes it clearly to himself, what perhaps its part, confirms Montezemolo said, although Alonso its own way denies.
– there must be a reason why I didn’t follow this account. Today you reminded me again about it! The president has never said that. Especially after, when I reached 80% of our garage outlets. We compete very hard, together, with all our heart, and we fought to the last competition until the championship, Alonso gripe.
80% Alonso refers to what is apparently the last one left the Ferrari-the season (2014), when he beat team-mate Kimi Raikkonen points 161-55. Exactly, alonso’s catch at that time was 75 and all Ferrari-the years 68%.
