Fernando Alonso and Ferrari both finished the 2014 season without a single win. Of his bittersweet last season with Ferrari, he had this to say, also to Planet F1:

You want to be on the podium at least. I knew it would be tough. It summarizes our season a little bit. It's mixed feelings leaving Ferrari. There are great people here.

It was a nice experience but I'm looking for better results than 10th. You will find out very soon where I will be driving - you are close!

Hopefully that all-new Honda F1 engine brings him the results he's looking for.
