Adrian Campos: “Alonso? It's the best thing about Ferrari."

Fernando Alonso just cut the on Tuesday 33 year milestone. Furthermore, as per tradition, Ferrari was one of the first teams to wish the Spanish driver a happy birthday it was McLaren, who thus continues his courtship of the Asturian with the hope of witnessing Alonso's arrival in Woking in 2015, when the British single-seaters will be powered by Honda engines. “McLaren is really insistent. It is the second time this year that they have sent a public message to Alonso and for those who really live Formula 1, they know that even the smallest gesture it's not accidental“, underlined Miguel Sanz, correspondent from Circus di Marca. The Spaniard said it in a recent interview, he would have looked around to find the best solution and there is no shortage of those interested in the Asturian.

The Honda wants a top driver and is working on this. According to Spanish rumors, the Japanese supplier would have formalized a super monetary offer to convince the two-time Spanish world champion to move to McLaren, a return for Fernando who already raced for the Woking team in 2007, which is why the Ferrari driver himself would have moved to the Prancing Horse an increase in salary to extend the contract until 2019. Yet according to Adrian Campos, Alonso's former manager, the Red team must be very careful not to let its jewel slip away: "Right now the Fernando is the best thing about Ferrari, he is the most complete driver we have seen around in recent years, if I had to compare him with anyone, I would mention the name Senna", concluded Campos.
