F1 | Alonso: “Schumacher is the greatest rival”
“Those battles were really special, the most exciting at that time,” said the two-time Spanish world champion
di Piero LadisaDecember 31, 2018
Fernando Alonso he has no doubts. In fact, the Spaniard, who said goodbye to the Circus at the end of the Abu Dhabi race held last November 25th, indicated Michael Schumacher the greatest rival I've ever faced on the track.
Alonso was, after Jacques Villeneuve and Mika Hakkinen, the third driver to get the better of the German in a direct championship comparison.
"It's hard to choose one. But if I really had to choose it would be Michael, not for anything in particular but because he was the one who dominated when I arrived in Formula 1 – underlined Alonso -. You were in karting and you saw him win. Suddenly you're fighting wheel to wheel with him, those battles were really special, the most exciting at that time".
The Spaniard then added: “I think we had, and probably still have, the most talented generation in history. Now the drivers are better prepared, have more time to dedicate to the simulator, reaching Formula 1 at a level that was unthinkable a couple of decades ago".
