Alonso: “It will be difficult to win races this year”
Fernando Alonso expects to encounter difficulties in his new venture with McLaren and Honda. He does not think he will have the opportunity to win races in the upcoming season.
The new McLaren-Honda will be presented on January 29 in Jerez during the first winter tests. The MP4-30 will be entrusted to Fernando Alonso on the first day, who will then alternate with Jenson Button throughout the four scheduled days.
However, the Spaniard is going to face a difficult year with the British team, as he himself admitted on his Twitter account: « It will be difficult to win races this year. » before adding that his goal for /f1/actualite/19342-officiel-honda-pourra-developper-son-v6-turbo-en-2015.html would be « to learn, help, be happy and, in the long term, win. »
After a difficult 2014 season highlighted by only one double podium achieved during the inaugural race in Australia, McLaren will have to face a new challenge in discovering the hybrid power unit developed by Honda, which will mark its return to Formula 1.
Recently, the Japanese manufacturer obtained from the FIA the possibility of developing its V6 turbo in /f1/actualite/19342-officiel-honda-pourra-developper-son-v6-turbo-en-2015.html.
Fernando Alonso’s last victory in Formula 1 dates back to the 2013 Spanish Grand Prix.
