🗣️'It’s a lot of pressure to go up against a great like Fernando. I would say on pure pace, Fernando [is the toughest].' Lewis Hamilton has nominated Fernando Alonso as the strongest competitor of his F1 career ahead of his 300th grand prix start ⬇️
Hamilton has the sixth-highest start count in F1 history and is poised to leapfrog Michael Schumacher and Jenson Button for fourth come the end of the 2022 campaign.
Hamilton said of the"great" Spaniard: “I think it’s difficult to say who has necessarily been the strongest competitor because every time you’re with someone, you’re in a different place in your life.“I was so young mentally and, of course, OK in terms of skill but it’s a lot of pressure to go up against a great like Fernando.“I wish we could have more. Hopefully he will continue to race so hopefully we’ll have more in the future.
After Alonso's departure, Hamilton comfortably had the measure of replacement Heikki Kovalainen on his way to a maiden title in 2008 before then partnering Jenson Button at McLaren until his 2013 move to Mercedes resulted in pairings with Nico Rosberg, Valtteri Bottas and now George Russell.
