Schumacher: Alonso, Ferrari are F1 favorites (PA SportsTicker)
February 27, 2010
BARCELONA, SPAIN(AP) —Michael Schumacher believes Fernando Alonso and former team Ferrari are the favorites going into the Formula One season.
The Mercedes GP driver said Saturday there are “several teams that look very competitive” but the Ferrari pair of Alonso and Felipe Massa “at the moment, look the target.”
A day after saying it was unlikely he will challenge for the win at the season-opening Bahrain GP, the seven-time champion sounded more optimistic.
After studying data, Schumacher believes the German team is in “reasonable” shape going into the championship, although poor weather during testing had hampered preparations.
Alonso edged Schumacher for back-to-back titles in 2005 and ’06.
