Fernando Alonso believes Lewis Hamilton can still win an eighth world championship, but has warned that Max Verstappen is ready to break the British driver's records. | Sport24news
However, in an interview with the PA news agency, Alonso, who at 41 is the only driver older than Hamilton on the grid, said:"Lewis will be in contention for the eighth title.
"The Mercedes car is not an easy one to drive, and it is not a fast car, but you see every weekend that Lewis is always there - fourth, fifth, fourth, and he was second in Australia. He is driving on top of the car."Hamilton's rival, Verstappen, claimed his maiden Formula 1 win on his Red Bull debut in Spain seven years ago.
"Until the regulations change in 2026, Red Bull will contend for the championships, so there will be many chances for Max to win races," said Alonso. However, the Spaniard is enjoying a career resurgence following his transfer from Alpine to Aston Martin, finishing on the podium at five of the first six races and earning a new fan base along the way."Things can change rapidly, so I will not give up on the title until it is mathematically impossible," said Alonso, speaking at 'IL PITSTOP', an immersive Aston Martin garage experience from Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.
