Speaking to the media event of Ferrari, Wrooom, Fernando Alonso said he feels Michael Schumacher would be one of the major threat for the 2011 championship title.
He said, “There will be five world champions on the track and the most dangerous champion for me is always Michael. He is a seven-time champion, he has nothing to prove, he had a difficult season but he is still a champion. He is still super class and if the car is right he will be a contender.”
Michael had a disastrous run in his formula one come back last season, but is positive that Mercedes would come up with a better car this season.
Alonso, also admitted that both McLaren drivers, Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton will again be contenders for the title, while Sebastian Vettel, the current champion, would come back even stronger in 2011.
“No doubt Sebastian will be a contender, he will have experience and will be calm in certain moments. He will drive better than last year and that makes him dangerous to us. McLaren will also be one of the favourites.”
