Fernando Alonso considers Michael Schumacher as one of his main 2011 rivals

While Michael Schumacher may not have had a good 2010 season, Fernando Alonso considers him one of his biggest rivals for the 2011 season. Speaking on the upcoming 2011 season at the annual Ferrari Wroom event, Alonso expects Schumacher to be one of the most dangerous rivals among the 5 world champions on the 2011 grid. "The most dangerous champion for me is always Michael", Alonso is said to be quoted.

Fans would remember the 2006 season where the Alonso and Schumacher were fighting an intense battle for the World championship. Schumacher's was leading the championship with two races to go before an engine blowup in Japan dashed his hopes for an eighth world title. The championship did go down to the wire in Brazil with Schumacher needing to win and Alonso finishing out side the points for any chance at the title. Schumacher fans would still remember the last race at Brazil where the former champions put in an exception drive finishing fifth.
