168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso’s true personalities are not wh🔜at th💎e public thinks, a Ferrari insider claims.
Schumacher’s stint at Ferrari is legendary, yielding five F1 championships which took him to෴ a total 𓆏of a record seven (which Lewis Hamilton has matched).
Alons🤪o was also brilliant in a Ferrari, particularly in a sensational 2012 season, but he couldn’t bring a drivers’ title to Italy.
Both drivers had reputations as being somewhat stoic or prickly inside🐓 the paddock.
“What you see💮 from the outsid💮e is not what you get on the inside,” Rob Smedley, an engineer at Ferrari during both drivers’ stints, told the Red Flags podcast.
“[Fernando] is like Michael. Michael used to have this external perception that he was arrogant, rob🦂otic and a terrible pers🦂on.
“Actually,🌼 he was a beautiful human beꦑing. He was very generous.
“He was humble🎐, he had humility. He had self-doubt which drove him to be as great as he was.
“He always questioned himself. He was very generous with the team, that he couldn’t do this without the teꦦam."
True Fernando Alonso personality revealed
“Fernando is a very privat𝔉e ꧙character," Smedley insisted.
"The personality you see i🐬s not whaꦚt you get within the team.
“His𒀰 personಞality within the team? He is intensely competitive.
“He wants to win within the rules at all costs.
“That makes him somebody that you want on your side. You despe෴rately need him in your team because it’s so intense and difficult, you need people who are constantly on the front foot.
“🐭Fernando is a sportsman, he is competitive. It sometimes boils over, like it🌄 did with Michael, like it does with everyone.
“Fernando, when you’ve got him on your te♐am, you’ve got a real𝓰 asset.”
Alonso’s prickly side💯 has manifested itself in rivalries with Hamiꦛlton, which reappeared as recently as his time with Alpine.
Alonso, entering a third year with Aston 📖Martin in 2025, is aiming for a 33rd grand prix win which has eluded him since 2013.
