P1racenews AI automatic summary:
Fernando Alonso has questioned Lewis Hamilton’s switch from Mercedes to Ferrari but has suggested the Briton can lead the Scuderia back to F1 glory.
Hamilton’s decision to leave Mercedes and join Aston Martin for the 2022 season marks the end of his long-standing relationship with the German team. Alonso, who had a similar situation when he left Renault for McLaren in 2007, hopes Hamilton enjoys his experience with Aston Martin. Alonso believes that the car is fast enough for Hamilton to fight for the championship, as Ferrari was able to match Red Bull’s lap times last year. Although the early decision might not have a big impact on the driver, it could lead to the team hiding some secrets in the latter part of the season.
