We all know that Red Bull tried to sign Fernando Alonso in the past on several occasions, things were discussed but it never came to fruition. If Fernando Alonso had signed, he would probably now have 6 world championships and not just 2, but of course, thinking like that, perhaps he would also have had one more for 2007, and some more that have escaped him in years where he was in physical condition to win and his car was not, even these last three years could have been the years of Fernando Alonso if he had been in the right place.
Well now it's been aerodynamic wizard Adrian Newey the one who has spoken of Fernando Alonso remembering that they were close to having signed him in the past for the Red Bull team. He also draws attention to the fact that when they have asked him about Sebastian Vettel he has simply answered in a concise way, claiming that «Sebastian achieved four championships, what can I say about him?«. Although the response seems very positive, some may think that it has been too blunt without extolling the qualities of the Teutonic too much. He has also had words for Mark Webber, who has said that he was essential for the growth of the team in 2009.
But when asked which pilots would be his favorites to work with that he hasn't had the opportunity to work with in the past has remembered Michael Schumacher, Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton. He has said something quite curious about German and that is: «Obviously Michael was a great competitor, a supreme competitor. Too bad he used those tricks, I think it was just that his competitive instinct took him too far.«. So praise with a review of Newey…
As for the Oviedo pilot, he recalled: «We were close to signing Fernando at times. Obviously he is extremely competitive. For him only to have won two titles all those years ago… who would have predicted that at the end of 2007 he would not win another one? It's still there, it still rises, right?» lamented the guru of aerodynamics.
