Ferrari will not be missing its departed number 1 driver Fernando Alonso.<\/p>\n
That is the view of the Spaniard’s former Renault teammate Jarno Trulli, who today can be found running his own team in the new Formula E series.<\/p>\n
After five years of trying to win the title, Alonso left Ferrari at the end of last season to join the struggling McLaren-Honda project.<\/p>\n
But Italian Trulli, 40, said Ferrari will not be missing him after Alonso’s replacement, Sebastian Vettel, won the Malaysian grand prix against the odds.<\/p>\n
“Sebastian brought a freshness to the team that had been lost because it did not have the best relationship with Alonso.<\/p>\n
“I have worked with Alonso,” Trulli told the Italian newspaper Tuttosport, “and he is difficult to work with.<\/p>\n
“Now as a manager of a team, I would prefer Vettel,” he added.<\/p>\n
Trulli admitted, however, that he would never have predicted the race victory in Malaysia for Ferrari and Vettel.<\/p>\n
“I would not have bet a penny on it at the start of the season,” said the former Toyota driver.\u00a0 “From here they can start to breath down Mercedes’ neck.<\/p>\n
“For Mercedes too I think it was very unexpected, but I have a feeling they will have some cards to play at the next race.\u00a0 The next grand prix will tell us a lot,” added Trulli.<\/p>\n
