Fernando Alonso Suffering the Same Fate as Michael Schumacher: Nico Rosberg

The 2016 champion, Nico Rosberg has analyzed the performance of Fernando Alonso on his return to the F1. The former Mercedes driver confirms that Fernando Alonso is not having a great time on his comeback to the sport with his current team. “The Alpine is a difficult car to drive and Alonso is not enjoying it,” said the German.

Rosberg compares the return of Fernando Alonso with that of Schumacher.

The German even makes a comparison between Fernando Alonso’s return with that of Michael Schumacher. During his time at Silver Arrows, Rosberg and Michael Schumacher used to share the same team after the latter first retirement with Ferrari.

“It is a long road for Fernando. Sometimes, he leaves flashes, like Michael Schumacher when I was his partner in Mercedes. It is difficult for him because of his age,” said Nico Rosberg about the Spaniard who will turn 40 this July. (Quotes translated from Spanish using Google)

Although only Rosberg can understand what the Spaniard is suffering because of his absence from the grid for over two years. “Fernando is experiencing the same thing as Michael. He has been two years out and it will take a little while for him to be at full capacity again,” he said.

After Alonso’s return to the F1, he is just a shadow of his former self with only 5 points he is 13th on the driver’s standings. Can the two-time champion find his old form soon with the Azerbaijan Grand Prix is around the corner?
