Fernando Alonso first became acquainted with Lewis Hamilton when they were team-mates in 2007.
Fernando Alonso has praised Lewis Hamilton’s ability to keep fighting even during a rare period of uncompetitiveness in the Mercedes driver’s career.
During that time, they have got to know each other with the two sharing a hostile atmosphere as team-mates in 2007. But in their older age, the pair have mellowed and appear to have one of the better understandings of drivers on the grid. Alonso knows all about retirement having done so himself in 2017 but he said it was the challenge of coming back to F1 and being competitive again that encouraged him to return.
“Then, in the pandemic, I remember being at home and putting on the table what possibilities I had for the following year after finishing the World Endurance Championship.
