Fernando Alonso has announced that his biggest threat for the 2011 season will be seven time world champion Michael Schumacher.
At a joint Ferrari/Ducati media launch at the Madonna di Campiglio ski resort earlier this year, Alonso spoke about his prospects for the upcoming season and commented that despite Schumacher's initial struggle with Mercedes in 2010, he should not be written off just yet.
"There will be five world champions on the track [this season] and the most dangerous champion for me is always Michael."
"[So] now in January if I have to choose one name I have to say Michael [is my main worry]. He is seven-times champion. He has nothing to prove."
Sebastien Vettel is also considered a threat by Alonso and mentions that he will be one to watch this season especially as he has championship behind him.
"No doubt Sebastian will be a contender [too]. He will have experience and will be calm in certain moments.
"He will drive better than last year and that makes him dangerous to us".
The disappointment of missing out on the championship to Vettel last year will spur the Scuderia on to perform better this year, says Alonso.
"When you succeed the emotions, feelings don't make you think of the general view of what happened. When you don't succeed, you look into the details,”
