Piquet: “Alonso is the best but he is at the end of his career”

Appeared for a few minutes in the Monte Carlo paddock Nelsinho Piquet, one of those purged from the Circus after the scandal of the fake accident in Singapore 2008, was unable to escape the questions of the journalists present who invariably asked him for his opinion on his former teammate at Renault Fernando Alonso.

“He is the strongest rider ever, but he is now at the end of his career. Unfortunately today if you don't have a competitive single-seater you can't do much. I am proof of this. Last year I won the title in Formula E, while this season I'm struggling” – declared the Brazilian.

So making a comparison between F1 and his current category, the son of art considered: “They are quite different. Since this is a series dedicated to electric cars, the noise is almost zero, in any case it offers interesting ideas."

Finally asked to predict which team will be the victorious team in 2016 between Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull, the 30-year-old replied: "I don't know, I'm not an expert...".
