Fernando Alonso says the biggest difference between the Ferrari he drove for and the Maranello based team of today is “inconsistency”. It has just emerged that both Ferrari and Mercedes may have made recent offers to ultra-dominant Red Bull’s renowned car designer Adrian Newey. Alonso, 41, told Sky Italia: “I think Adrian Newey has always made cars that are superior to the others. Whether Newey would have been the key to solving Ferrari’s problems, of course, is another story. But Alonso thinks the Maranello based team worked very well without the famous British designer between 2010 and 2014. “As Ferrari, we were always there in those years,” he said.
