(McLaren-Honda)

Former Scuderia Ferrari driver Fernando Alonso believes that the Italian team will be strong in 2015. The Spaniard was confirmed as Jenson Button’s McLaren Honda team from next season onwards having left the Maranello based outfit after five season with the team.

Alonso commented by saying:

‘From the outside now it will be difficult to judge how Ferrari is doing, but they have the talented people, they have the resources, they have the motivation from everybody in the team, so in time they will win.’

The Spaniard returns to McLaren for the first time since 2007 when he partnered Lewis Hamilton and finished the season in third place in the champion equal on points with the English driver. 

During his first period with the Woking based outfit, Alonso won three Grand Prix taking 12 podium finishes. Alonso took victory at the Malaysian, European and Italian Grand Prix.

Alonso believes that Ferrari will be favourite's next season with the budget and the technical personnel that the team have.

Four time Formula One world champion Sebastian Vettel joins the team as Kimi Raikkonen’s team mate following six seasons with the Milton Keynes based outfit.
