Fernando Alonso has spoken with Red Bull several times but no deal has ever been agreed.
Despite talks with Red Bull , Fernando Alonso was never signed because Helmut Marko does not believe there could’ve been harmony with him at the team.has spoken with Red Bull several times in the past, the most recent conversation said to have taken place earlier this year before he committed his future to Aston Martin .But while the Spaniard revealed at least one round of talks even went as far as to include Adrian Newey in the conversation, the Alonso-Verstappen partnership never materialised.
“No, I think it would be very difficult for a team,” said the motorsport advisor. “Alonso would be the oldest World Champion on the team, Max the youngest, and they are generations apart. “But when it comes to seeing who is faster neither of them are very modest. And it would be very, very difficult for a team to take that in a positive direction.”Alonso also missed his opportunity in the pre-Verstappen days with Marko claiming the driver didn’t believe Red Bull had what it would take to win titles.
“Well, we were talking to Alonso in the early years of Red Bull Racing,” he added. “I don’t think he thought we were capable of manufacturing cars that could compete to win World Championships. And that didn’t work out.”
