“In Reanult as I said, you find this family environment and friendly approach by everyone in Enstone and Paris. In Ferrari, I think it’s a more passionate, what you see there with the people at the factory; a little bit more chaotic as well, it might be part of the Latin, Italian, Spanish DNA as well.”

“McLaren is a bit more serious a little bit more precise, everything, But maybe lacking a bit of communication internally as well, but a very professional environment. And yeah, each of them is just a bit different, but  they are all finding the limits and arriving to the same goal which is producing the fastest cars possible, and they are all same on that,” Alonso concluded.

However, at the recent Qatar Grand Prix, Alonso had silenced his haters, as he achieved a podium finish by crossing the line in third place.

However, there are two more races left before this season comes to end, and Fernando hopes to display the same level of performance as he did in Qatar.
