Red Bull’s rivals cannot catch up with the dominant RB6 car simply by copying its technical features, Fernando Alonso insists.<\/p>\n
On Monday, McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton was quoted as urging his engineers to study the Adrian Newey-penned single seater in a bid to match its runaway pace.<\/p>\n
Asked by Germany’s Die Welt for his opinion about the secret to the RB6’s success, Ferrari driver Alonso answered: “It would be nice if we knew that.<\/p>\n
“It is incredibly difficult to figure out why the competition is better here and there.\u00a0 And so it is hard to copy them.”<\/p>\n
But the Spaniard admitted that emulating the cleverness of rival teams is commonplace in formula one.<\/p>\n
“It can be.\u00a0 But whether it always works is a different matter, because every team also has its own design philosophy into which fits the next elements.<\/p>\n
“It means that you have to develop better in your own direction,” said Alonso.<\/p>\n
Red Bull’s Mark Webber, the back-to-back winner from pole in Spain and Monaco, insists it is too early to conclude that the Austrian team is now a shoo-in for the title.<\/p>\n
“I understand you guys (reporters) have to write stuff but no one knows who is going to be in the hunt with a few races to go,” said the Australian.<\/p>\n
