There are no No. 1 or No. 2 in Ferrari - Alonso

Fernando Alonso has categorically denied that there are any defined No. 1 or No. 2 in Ferrari.

Facing the media during Ferrari's traditional Thursday press conferene, Alonso was asked about his relationship with his team-mate in wake of the current team order controversy.

 

He said, “This is a team where both drivers want to win, both drivers are competitive and we want to score as many points as possible for the team. It has been the same situation at every Grand Prix this season, when Felipe and I arrive at the circuit wanting to win."

 

"Hopefully we can have another good weekend here in Hungary and I expect Felipe to again be very strong, as he has been all season. We work together very well.”

 

He stressed that both drivers are treated equally in the team and neither have been designated as No. 1 or 2.

 

“There is not a Number 1 and a Number 2 driver at Ferrari. It is a case of respect for one another, with both of us racing for the Scuderia, which means a lot."

 

"What matters most is that we are happy with the performance of the car at the last couple of races and that finally, in Germany, we got both cars passed the chequered flag with no problems and plenty of points. Our aim here this weekend is to continue along these lines.”

 

He further added, “What happened last weekend is now in the past and I feel there is nothing more to say, as it was all said in Germany and then our President has also made his comments on the situation. Now, our focus is completely on this weekend and I do not want to lose concentration for the work we have to do.”
