After being easily passed by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Hamilton said the 2023 Red Bull is 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“the fastest car I’ve seen” in F1, arguing their advantage over the field is greater than anything Mercedes enjoyed during their own spell of domina🧸nce. 

Hamilton claimed six of his seven world championships during Mercedes’ unpreceden🐽ted streak of eight๊ consecutive constructors’ titles between 2014 and 2021.

Alonso, who has rarely seen eye-to-eye with Hamilton, rejected the seven-time world champion’s remarks in an interview with French publication ahead of this weekend’s🌃 Australian Gran❀d Prix. 

“I don’t agree at all,” th𝓰e two-time world champion said of Hamilton’s view. 

“Last week [in Saudi Arabia] I finiꦬshed 20 seconds behind Checo and Max [Verstappen]. He and [Nico] ౠRosberg were a minute ahead in 2014 and 2015... He has a short memory, he’s getting old!”

41-year-old Alonso also appeared to take a swipe at his old nemesis’ re💮cent performances, suggesting Hamilt💯on benefitted from having such a competitive car for a number of years. 

“With a normal car, you can see that he has weaknesses,” Alo♚🏅nso added. 

“Before, he drove alone or sometimes with his team-mate. But look, he is the record holder for poles and George Russell has just given him a 2-0 in qualꦅifying this season. It just goeꦗs to show how much the car is still a key factor…”.

Hamilton and 🐷Alonso retain a spikey relationship to this da൩y following their fallout while teammates at McLaren in 2007. 

Their riva✃lry flared up again during the 2022 season when 💯Hamilton and Alonso collided at the Belgian Grand Prix. 

Alonso has enjoyed a strong start to 2023 in his muꦐch-improved Aston Martin, which appears to have overtaken Hamilton’s Mercedes in the pecking order.&nb🌞sp;
