Alonso: it would go better with Hamilton

Fernando Alonso et Lewis Hamilton do not have good memories of their 2007 season spent with McLaren. The Spaniard and the Briton had tense relations while they were fighting for the title which escaped them against Kimi Räikkönen.

With experience and years gone by, Fernando Alonso believes, however, that this scenario would not repeat itself if the two drivers were to work together again.

“It would be different. I am more mature and so is he. Teams are also better prepared for these situations in some ways, commented Fernando Alonso on ESPN. We no longer have this stress of winning because we respect each other a lot. »

Fernando Alonso would even be enthusiastic about the idea of ​​fighting again against the three-time world champion in the same team, provided that the latter is able to play at the forefront.

“Everyone would love it, but only if the team performs well. I'm in the same situation with Jenson (Button). Our team is now competitive and we can fight for important things, but we remain anonymous when the car is behind. Nobody notices that you had a fantastic qualifying lap or if you made a mistake and don't make it through Q1.", regretted Fernando Alonso.
