Fernando Alonso has insisted that results at
the start of the new F1 season have justified his decision to leave
Ferrari for McLaren.
The Spaniard quit the Scuderia after five seasons in red at
the end of 2014 to join forces with McLaren ahead of their reunion with
Honda. The team have endured a desperate struggle so far in 2015, with
both cars eliminated in Q1 in Australia and Malaysia, while a
revitalised Ferrari claimed a podium finish in Melbourne and ended
Mercedes’ long of front-row lock-outs at Sepang.
But with Mercedes still in a league of their own, Alonso remains adamant that rolling the dice was the logical career choice.
“When I saw Mercedes winning by half a minute [in Australia] I was so
clear about my decision. To beat Mercedes at the moment you need to do
something different. You need to risk somehow because if you copy you
will be always behind. So I’m in the right place,” Alonso told Sky Sports F1 after qualifying just 18th for the Malaysia GP, his worst grid slot since 2010.
“It’s
a very exciting challenge because we will grow up together from the
bottom and when we arrive to the points, or a podium position, we will
look at each other and say this has been a very exciting trip.”
