Alonso: I don't fear Vettel
Fernando Alonso says he would have no problem being team-mates with Sebastian Vettel if the world champion were to switch to Ferrari in future
The Spaniard points to the fact that he has never been out-scored by a team-mate in his Formula 1 career and says he has no reason to fear Vettel.
"I'm not afraid at all of Vettel," he told Spanish media in Oviedo this week. "Should he come to Ferrari one day it won't be a problem, I have nothing to say on that.
"But I'm not afraid to face any team-mate, because I've never feared them. None of my team-mates have ever done a single point more than I have, so I don't see why I should be afraid of anyone."
Alonso added that he expects Ferrari to produce a car capable of challenging Red Bull and McLaren for the championship in 2011.
"I have no doubts that next year I will have the car I want," he said. "Ferrari has to aim for the title because of the prestige it has always had."
