F1 | Pat Symonds praises Alonso: "he is stronger than Senna, even if Schumacher remains in first place"
The engineer: "When I saw Fernando driving for the first time I called Briatore to tell him that we had a very special person"
di Fabiola Granier19 February 2017
“When I saw Alonso driving for the first time I knew he was very good, in fact I immediately called Briatore to tell him that same night that we had a very special person”, one of the best engineers in the history of Formula 1 told As: Pat Symonds, in the circus with Toleman, Benetton, Renault, Marussia and Williams. And this is the memory he has of the Spaniard: “Fernando was incredibly competitive. He had the same self-esteem as Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher. People like them know they are the best. Fernando is a great driver, maybe not as fast as Michael, but very, very fast. I would say that Michael was the fastest, followed by Fernando and, finally, Ayrton in third place.", went on to praise McLaren's number 14.
