Fernando Alonso says he was surprised by Lewis Hamilton's move to Ferrari. The Spaniard was a teammate of the Briton at McLaren between 2007 and 2008.

Alonso believes that the arrival of his rival within the Italian clan could be the missing link to finally aim for the world titles. The double world champion presented his car with Aston Martin on Monday for the start of the season. The Spanish driver is currently preparing for his third season in the Formula 1 world championship with Red Bull. He will be joined by Sebastian Vettel and Kimi Raikkonen at Ferrari.
