Ex-Ferrari engineer explains what Mic𓄧hael Schumacher was really like

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso’s true personalities are not what the public thinks, a Ferra🍷ri inꦚsider claims.
Schumacher’s stint at Ferrari is legendary, yielding five F1 champ✱ionships which took him to a total of a record seven (which Lewis Hamilton has 🐼matched).
Alonso was also brilliant in a Ferrari, particularly in a sensational 2012 season, but he couldn’t bring a drivers’ titওle to Italy.
Both drivers had reputations as being somewhat stoic oꦬr prickly inside the paddock.
“What you see fr𝔉om the outside is not what you get on the inside,” Rob Smedley, an engineer at Ferrari during both drivers’ stints, told the Red Flags podcast.
“[Fernando] is like Michael. Mich♒ael used to have this external perception that he was arrogant, robotic and a terrible person.
“Actually, he was a beautiful huma🐼n🐈 being. He was very generous.
“He was humble🍎, he had humility. He had self-doubt which drove him to be as great as he was.
“He always questioned himself. He was very generous with the team, that he couldn’t do this without the te🐷am."
True Fernando Alonso personality revealed
“Fernando is a very p⭕rivate character," Smedley insisted.&nb🌟sp;
"The personality you see is not what you 🐬get within the team.
“His personality withiꦗn the team? He is intensely competitive.
“He wants to win within the rules at all costs.
“That makes him someﷺbody that you want o🦄n your side. You desperately need him in your team because it’s so intense and difficult, you need people who are constantly on the front foot.
“Fernando is a sport☂sman, he is competitive. It sometimes boils over, like it did with Mic✅hael, like it does with everyone.
“Fernando, when you’ve got him on your team, you’ve got a real ass💖et.”
Alonso’s prickly sid✱e has manifested itself in rivalries with Hamilton, which reappeared as recently as his time with Alpine.
Alons༺o, entering a third year with Aston Martin in 2025, is aiming for a 33rd grand prix win which has eluded him since 2013.
