What did Fernando Alonso think when he saw Sebastian Vettel stormed to victory in the new Ferrari SF15-T at Sepang? The Spanish double world champion poured so much effort during his five years at Maranello, working wonders aboard a series of scarlet machines that rarely were dominant frontrunners. A dismal 2014 campaign proved to be the last straw for Alonso who set off for pastures (not so) new to take on the McLaren-Honda challenge. So far, the 33-year-old has been experiencing a tough season while Vettel is already soaring high at Ferrari. “Will the gamble eventually pay off in the long run?”, seems to ponder a reflective Alonso in Malaysia.
