Alonso considers himself 'better' than Hamilton and Verstappen

He did not come back to string the pearls. Fernando Alonso (Alpine) feels in great condition, and he lets it be known. The double world champion Formula 1 answered with aplomb the question of our colleague from the BBC if he had the same level as Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) and Max Verstappen (Red Bull:

" No. I'm the best. »

That is clear ! The new recruit ofAlpine then extended his reasoning, in the same combative vein. “ I am back in F1 with the aim of performing well, having the opportunity to win races, and hoping to fight for titles.

 

This year, this will not yet be possible due to the technical regulations, which remain mostly the same as previous seasons. So I don't see any miracles in the short term, predicted the Spaniard.

But in 2022 there will be an opportunity thanks to the new regulations. We want to be one of the teams that takes everyone by surprise. To be able to do this, you have to work a lot this year. »

Also questioned about his bicycle accident in Switzerland (hit by a motorist who wanted to...do his shopping), Fernando Alonso admits that he had " a lot of chance. (The metal plates in my jaw. Ed.) won't compromise my season at all, I feel lucky. »

Passionate about the history of motorsport across all disciplines, I learned to read thanks to AUTOhebdo. At least that's what my parents tell everyone when they see my name inside!
