It’s no secret that he’s a two-time world champion Fernando Alonso in recent years he has repeatedly tried to get on the team Mercedes, with the Spaniard even publicly offering himself to the Silver Arrows team.
As is well known, this did not happen. In an interview for a British newspaper Daily Mail, so it is Toto wolff, the head of the Mercedes team, now explained in parentheses why Alonso it was not interesting to his team and that it had to do with his performance. "Fernando Alonso is without a doubt one of the best racers of all time. It’s a big disappointment for the sport that he hasn’t won more than two championship titles. However, it is important to know that you are only part of the solar system. You are not the sun,”He explained Wolff.
Austrian in the same breath he adds: “Some racers are poorly advised in this regard. They come to the center of media interest and begin to believe they are the sun. However, these are not - none of us are. We are satellites, we are rotating planets.”And that's just the kind of humble performance Wolff missed at Alonso.
