Alonso: “I'm back to complete what I started in 2007”

Like the child protagonist of a famous advertisement, Fernando Alonso also has a meatball left in his throat. This is the 2007 world championship which ended on a par with his then teammate in his first move to McLaren and just one point behind the winner Kimi Raikkonen, a result that was poorly digested and which apparently would have convinced him to return to Woking to attempt the coup missed on that occasion.

“When I think about that season I don't have good feelings, in fact, taking a global balance I consider it the only negative moment of my F1 career because I wasn't able to give my best – he declared during the conference held at the team's Technology Center – Now, however, the team is different and Button is not Hamilton, furthermore I feel more mature and aware than in the past, so if I am here it is primarily to complete the work left unfinished."

The big boss also expressed himself on the comeback in the same tone of mouth Ron Dennis.

“A lot has changed in seven years, so if the media is trying to find fractures in our relationship they are only wasting time – his thought – It is normal for the management of a team to have to deal with tensions between the its riders, however if I could go back I would approach the situation differently even if I believe that being a novice and a predestined Lewis contributed to fueling the disagreements."
