168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso has reflected🎃 on his misse💮d opportunity to join Red Bull in 2009.

One criticism put towards Alonso throughout his F1 career is his poor team choices.

While you can argue such criticism is harsh, a driver of Alonso’s calibre s🐷hould have won more than t𒁏wo titles.

Alonso had an oppo🐬rtunity to✱ join Red Bull in 2009.

The S𓃲paniard passed up on the offer as he returned♌ to Renault for two years before joining Ferrari in 2010.

Red Bull would ultimate✅ly become a race-wi💞nning outfit in 2009, before dominating the sport in the coming years.

Speꦡaking on the podca🍸st ahead of his 400th race in F1, Alonso reflected on his decision to reject Red Bull.

“Again, it’s෴ easy to say now,” he said “Back in 2008, Red Bull had, I think, one podium of David [Coulthard] in Monaco.

“Red Bull was an energy drinks company. Great team, great members 🍒in the team. But I think to predict thဣat they will win seven or eight championships in the next decade, it was not totally guaranteed.”

Alonso cited 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lewis Hamilton’s shock move to Mercedes and the criticism the British driver rece💝ived at the time.

“And it’s when Lewis changed from McLaren to Mercedes, that fi♚rst year in 2013 was a lot of critics,” he added.

“Because why [would] you change McLaren for a Mercedes that was only achi𝄹eving one or two podiums until th𓄧en?

“And he’s a seven-time world champion, and now the same෴ with Ferrari.

“You don’t know what Lewis will achꩲieve next year. If Ferrari does well and win a chܫampionship, it’s a great move.

“If Mercedes does well🤪 and they win a championship, it’s a bad move. How can you predict that?”
