Mark Webber gave his point of view this weekend on Alonso’s return to the team that allowed him to become a double world champion.<\/p>\n
The Australian, also a former test driver for Renault, believes that Fernando Alonso’s future will be much brighter than his season with McLaren but also thinks he will struggle to win races…<\/p>\n
\u00ab I don’t think it will allow him to achieve as many victories as he did this season… \u00bb Comments the Red Bull driver. \u00ab I also don’t think he can fight for the title until the final round… \u00bb<\/p>\n
I’m sure that Renault will be better in 2008, they know how to bounce back. Alonso will also feel much better there… without a doubt… but I don’t think he will have as fruitful a year as 2007 in terms of victories or standings…<\/p>\n
Webber, who shares his opinion, was impressed by the 2007 season, which was full of surprising events, each more astonishing than the last. He logically wonders how 2008 could be better…<\/p>\n
\u00ab From a purely sporting point of view, this season was sensational,” he explained. \u00ab [Michael] Schumacher retired, [Fernando] Alonso was very good, and above all, no one expected to see [Lewis] Hamilton come and fight against Alonso and R\u00e4ikk\u00f6nen for the title. \u00bb<\/p>\n
\u00ab In 2008, with the removal of traction control, we will lose a great advantage and take a step into the past… I wonder how people will understand this measure. \u00bb<\/p>\n
The Australian was also surprised by more… judicial matters; \u00ab Unfortunately, the season wasn’t as simple as that… All his legal issues and all his penalties and fines are not good for the image of our sport… \u00bb<\/p>\n
Webber has re-signed for an additional season with Red Bull Racing. At one point, he was threatened by Alonso in the team, but he remains sportsmanlike towards the Spaniard.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
