Alonso has labelled the car he’s testing with Ferrari, the ‘best car I’ve ever had’.
The Spaniard, who joined the team at the end of last season has been testing the car in Jerez and is very pleased with how things are going, both with the car and the team.
“There are no reasons to be pessimistic,” he said. “As of today, this is the best car I’ve ever had.
“The two days that I tested it was sunny and the track was dry and I could work more than I thought so I’m very happy. We have done a good job in terms of reliability and long runs.”
“Red Bull, McLaren and Renault have been very quick and they have shown their cards, while we are still hiding ours,” Alonso added.
“We are going to analyse the data, but we are very optimistic. As of today, if I were in a different team I would be looking at Ferrari because everything is going very well.
“Maybe where Ferrari needs to improve is in the short runs with little fuel onboard. That’s where the Red Bull and the McLaren have been quicker, and they will be the reference to try and improve the F10 in the next test in Barcelona.”
