De La Rosa: “Alonso is the best driver of all time”

Pedro De La Rosa he has no doubts. The former Ferrari test driver and former F1 driver expressed a clear and clear preference for his compatriot Fernando Alonso.

“I have worked with great pilots – he told Spanish radio Cadena Ser – and I have seen the acid test of telemetry. Comparing different eras is unfair but if I had to choose one best of all time I would say Alonso."

However, the difficulties with McLaren-Honda are numerous and could continue into 2017. De La Rosa has in fact expressed more than one doubt about the possibility that Alonso could compete for the top spot as early as next year.

“For a team that is currently fighting to get to Q3, it is difficult to aspire to the title next year. However, I have no doubt that he will fight for the podium."

The Spaniard also had good words for Lewis Hamilton, but reproached him for his behavior after the breakdown at Sepang and said he was almost certain that the 2016 title will go to Rosberg.
