Only F1 legend Ayrton Senna would outpace so called 2005 'champion-elect' Fernando Alonso. That's the claim of Denis Chevrier, top engine man at the Spanish youngster's Renault team.
The Frenchman said Senna, Brazil's triple world champion who died after a 1994 shunt, was 'in his own class.' "Of all the drivers with whom I've worked," Chevrier insisted, "I think Fernando comes next. He might still be young, but I recognise all the signs of a champion in him."
Denis said Alonso, 23 and leader of the drivers' championship from Kimi Raikkonen, is one of those people - like Senna or Michael Schumacher - who 'never gives up.' "And he manages to draw the best from everyone in the team -- at the end of a weekend, for example, he thanks every single team member."
