In 2007, Alonso had the chance to join Red Bull for 2008, but he chose not to because he thought Ferrari - who he joined in 2010 after two interim years at Renault - were a better choice.
At the time, it was a sensible decision - Red Bull weren't successful yet and Ferrari were in one of their best periods. In hindsight, obviously Red Bull would have been the right call.
Ferrari have since approached Newey; he chose not to leave Red Bull.
Alonso, who did a great job again in Singapore in a car that is obviously not as good as the Red Bull, is clearly not enjoying seeing Vettel win more championships than he has so far.
But Fernando Alonso and Sebastian Vettel are two of the all-time greats of F1. It doesn't matter how many championships each of them wins; they are equal.
The numbers are irrelevant. As complete packages, Vettel and Alonso are in a league of their own in F1 in the modern age.
