Fernando Alonso claims that Lewis Hamilton’s continued commitment to Formula 1 “motivates” every single driver on the current grid. Alonso
Alonso and Hamilton were teammates at McLaren in 2007, but their relationship deteriorated and Alonso left at the end of the year. Alonso has yet to win a third F1 championship, retiring in 2018 due to uncompetitive machinery before returning in 2021. In contrast, Hamilton joined Mercedes in 2013 and became a seven-time World Champion, breaking records for pole positions and race wins. However, Hamilton has not won a race since the regulations changed last year, with Red Bull dominating. Despite Mercedes’ struggles, Hamilton signed a two-year extension to stay in F1 until 2025. Alonso believes Hamilton has always stayed focused and competitive, even when he didn’t have a competitive car. Hamilton’s hopes for the Drivers’ Championship suffered in the United States due to a disqualification but recovered slightly in Mexico City. Mercedes’ unexpected troubles allowed Alonso and Aston Martin to return to the podium, and Alonso is having his most productive season since 2013, currently sitting fourth in the standings.
