Fernando Alonso Quotes

I am a very competitive person in everything. Not only F1 but in everyday life.
I am one of the best to have raced in F1. I am probably not fastest in qualifying, or the wet, but I am 9.5 in all areas. I try to benefit from that.
I am very proud to be part of this team, and I know that winning with Ferrari will mean more than winning with another team.
