Fernando Alonso has aimed some glowing - and rare - praise towards his great rival Lewis Hamilton, insisting he is “faster than anyone” on the F1 grid.
Ahead of this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix, Mercedes confirmed that Hamilton has agreed a new two-year deal to keep him at the Silver Arrows until at least the end of the 2025 season.The seven-time world champion’s new deal means he will be continuing to race in F1 into his forties, something that Alonso, who turned 42 in July, can relate to.
Speaking to Italian press at Monza, Alonso reiterated his view that age is just a number while stating his belief that former title nemesis Hamilton is still at the top of his game.“Age can sometimes be a problem with demotivation, or you see that you are no longer at 100% of your performance – or your focus and your concerns are other than F1.“But in the case of Hamilton, who continues to perform at 100% and his concern is F1 – like in my case – it isn’t a problem.
