Fernando Alonso’s jab at Ferrari: ‘Fortunately for us there’s more inconsistency now’
Aston Martin are embroiled in a fight with Ferrari and Mercedes for second in the constructors’ championship in F1 2023.
Aston Martin currently lead that battle with Alonso leadi🃏ng their charge, scoring four podiu💎ms in the opening five races.
When speaking during the Miami weekend, Alonso was quick to𓆉 point out that Ferrari aren’t as consistent as they were during his time with tꦿhe team.
“Adrian Newey created a car of another level with Red Bull,” he said. “The sa🎃me thing that Mercedes did during the Hamilton/Bottas years.
“When I was in Ferrari, we were always close to them, and we never made a mistake; we fought for the world cham🐎pionship for three of the four years until the last race, thanks to our consistency.
“Fortunately for us, there iꦺs a little more inconsistency in Ferrari now, and we make more points than them.”
It’s been a welcome return to form for Al𒊎onso, who prior to 2023, hadn’t🌱 finished on the podium in consecutive races in a decade.
“I’ve been always working hard, but I didn’t have probably the team believing i𓃲n my performance, in my ability to set up the car as well and to move forward,” he added.
“And also I never had 𒉰a fast car as I have now. So I think that’s the reason.
“I didn’t change🌞 anything but Aston Martin changed everything for me.”
