Lauda: "Egocentric" Alonso was bad for Ferrari
"Egocentric" Alonso was bad for Ferrari
Fernando Alonso was bad for the
Ferrari Formula 1 team because he was too egocentric and critical, according to
three-time world champion Niki Lauda.
The Spanish driver left Ferrari at
the end of last year after five seasons during which he finished runner-up
three times before enduring his worst campaign with the team in 2014, when he
was sixth in the standings with just two podiums.
Alonso has returned to McLaren for
2015, but has struggled at the back of the field so far as engine supplier Honda
gets to grips with the power unit.
Meanwhile, Ferrari has taken a
significant step forward compared to 2014, with Sebastian Vettel winning the
Malaysian Grand Prix as the Maranello squad has emerged as Mercedes' closest
challenger.
Lauda, a non-executive chairman at
the Mercedes team, says Vettel is exactly what Ferrari needed, labeling Alonso
as "dark".
"Alonso is egocentric, dark and
grumpy," Lauda told the Repubblica newspaper.
"He's also quite negative. Last
year right after the races finished he started criticising: this doesn't work,
there's a problem there, this is why we are not winning.
"How can you keep the morale of
a team up if the driver just says bad things? Everybody knows it: if you are
racing for Italy that's an attitude you can't afford.
"Maybe somewhere else they can
ignore the criticism, but not at Maranello and its surroundings. Vettel is
sunny, Alonso is dark.
"He made the wrong decision. He
pushed himself into the abyss."
