Once the team has established itself as a clear opponent for Ferrari and Mercedes in order to fight for podiums, Mike Krackhead of the Silverstone team has stopped to talk about Fernando Alonso.
In statements collected by ‘Motorsport’, in addition to praising the work of the Asturian in the garage, he has compared his figure to that of his predecessor, Sebastian Vettel.

“I think it’s difficult to compare, the two have their own way of communicating, his way of dealing with the teamand I think it’s unfair to say that one is better and the other worse in these types of areas, both are great champions”, he added.
It is clear that Alonso’s character is much closer to that of Vettel, than as a German classic it is more sober in the you to youwhile the Spanish is direct and, perhaps, more ‘friendly’ than Seb.
