Africa-Press – Botswana. British Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton, with a short and… ironic answer, reacted yesterday to Fernando Alonso’s statements.
After the Spaniard revealed that the Briton’s titles were won only with internal competition, Hamilton recalled the time when, in the same car, he was ahead of Alonso. of the United States in 2007, in Indianapolis, in which he ended up as the winner, ahead of Alonso, in second place. The two, by the way, were teammates at McLaren.
At that time, the two fought with Kimi Raikkonen until the end for the drivers’ championship, but it was the Finn, in Ferrari, who won, with Hamilton in second and Alonso in third.
In the description with the photo, Hamilton just put an ’emoji’ with his thumb up, as if to say cool.
Remember, it all started when Alonso, currently at Alpine, suggested that the two championships won by Max Verstappen have more merit than Hamilton’s titles, since, according to the Spaniard, the Dutchman had to compete with drivers from other teams in addition to the teammate.
“I have a lot of respect for Hamilton, but it’s different to win seven championships when you only have to fight with your teammate. So I think a championship like that is less valuable than when you have fewer titles, but you had to fight other drivers with an equal or even better car”, he told De Telegraaf.
