00:00How close have you ever been to signing Fernando Alonso?

00:03We got very close.

00:04Helmut and I went to see his management

00:09at the end of 2008

00:14for the 2009 and 2010 season

00:17and we offered him a two-year contract.

00:22So it was for 2008 and 2009.

00:25And he would only sign up for one year

00:30and Red Bull's position was,

00:33and it was Mr. Malish's position,

00:35it was a two-year deal or nothing

00:37and he wouldn't commit to that.

00:41And we thought he had had a Ferrari contract

00:47very clearly for 2009.

00:52What was slightly weird about that

00:53was that Flavio was involved as well,

00:56but he was trying to get him for the Renault team

00:59that he was managing at the time.

01:02And in the end, he ended up driving for Renault for two years.

01:05But halfway through 2009,

01:07I had an approach to say,

01:10could he join the team mid-season

01:11because they felt he could win the championship in that car.

01:14And then we had another conversation

01:16in the back of an Alfa Romeo at Spar Airport

01:20several years later.

01:23I think it was around 2000.

01:242013.

01:25It was, it was,

01:28I think it was actually 11 or 12,

01:32end of 11 or 12.

01:33So, but again, it never really,

01:37the most serious discussion was the first one

01:41and then it missed its chance.
