Interview With Ferrari's Fernando Alonso


Question: Is it a dream come true to drive for Ferrari? Does it feel special?

Fernando Alonso: It feels very special, still. It’s a big team and to be part of a legend is a nice feeling. I am enjoying it as the team have been very good with me, which made me feel at home right away from the first day.

Question: What are your thoughts on the return of your great opponent Michael Schumacher? Are you excited you’ll race against him again?

Fernando Alonso: Yes, of course. I enjoy the big names, the big battles, and for sure it is very special to race with him again. If you think about a race win or a battle that is taken to the limits, then it is always more special against him than any other driver.

Question: Would you count yourself as a contender for the 2010 title?

Fernando Alonso: Well last year, when the Brawns came to the last test and all the other teams had already shown their hand, it became clear immediately that they had a potential winner. This year things look very different. Nobody sticks out so much from the rest that you can say that this is the car you have to beat. I predict that we will have to wait until the race in Bahrain to see the pecking order.
