Fernando Alonso has denied he is concerned with his former teams' competitiveness. The Spaniard made his feelings very clear about how he felt about McLaren's failed partnership with Honda but Pierre Gasly's fourth-place finish in Bahrain had the paddock looking at Alonso.
When asked at the Chinese Grand Prix how he felt about Honda's recent improvements with new partners Toro Rosso, the double world champion flat out denied he cared about their performances.
"It was a very nice weekend for them, they were performing. here also they are competitive.
To be honest after 18 years in Formula One to answer after one good qualifying, one good result from any team, it makes no sense. I did not answer it about Ferrari in 2015, 2016. After I left Ferrari, every win, every podium they were achieving you asked me if I regret when I left Ferrari.
"After four years, Mercedes keep winning both championships, you are not asking me any more about Ferrari.

Or Renault in 2005 and ’06 I won two championships and now they are again competitive. I don’t care so much about other teams. It’s funny how people get excited about ex-teams when they are OK and they ask me, I don’t care too much."
Despite questions about McLaren's former power unit supplier, Alonso finds himself fifth in the drivers' championship, the highest placed driver outside of the top three teams in the sport.
