According to both F1 Fanatic and the Dutch Formule 1 website, Fernando Alonso has stated in a recent interview that he does not believe that "Raikkonen is no faster than Massa"
Next year Alonso will be partnered at Ferrari by Kimi Raikkonen, who will take Felipe Massa’s place in the team. Alonso doesn't expect a difference in performance between the two.
“For next year with Kimi I think we can do a very good championship for Ferrari, try to do again score as many points as possible,” he said. “But I think in terms of speed Felipe’s not any slower. I mean when they were racing together Felipe was as quick as Kimi in a way so if we have a competitive car we will enjoy the season and we will do very good things.
“If we are not competitive car it will be very similar to this season, I think.”
The Raikkonen-Massa-Alonso triangle is a comparison which I myself am guilty of bringing up many times, but I found it very interesting that Alonso himself brought it up.
Thought?
