Juncadella: “I was right to leave Force India”

At least for now he has put the Circus aside to dedicate himself full time to the DTM Daniel Juncadella he seems to be happy to have abandoned the reserve role Force India carried out in 2014.

“The opportunities to drive were very few and I don't think it was worth continuing – he told El Confidencial – In current F1 the third driver doesn't count for much, furthermore the team I was in was small and with limited economic possibilities, so I had remained this However, this year I would have looked elsewhere, perhaps in Williams or Lotus, since they are powered by Mercedes engines, a brand to which I want to be linked. Unfortunately they both already had established plans for the next two seasons, so I would have had no guarantees."

Finally on his compatriot Fernando Alonso who is trying to revive McLaren from decline said: “His season is proving to be very complicated, however he has a nice positive attitude. He is a two-time world champion who could have won more. Accepting to go to a team that has a car that is not yet at the top is not easy from a motivation point of view. It was brave. So I hope to see him back at the front soon."
