This Sunday Hamilton will join the record of six drivers with more than 300 racesamong these are Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, Rubens Barrichello, Michael Schumacher Y Jenson pressed. If he were to fight all the remaining races to finish the season, the Mercedes driver would overcome the last two and finish in fourth position.

In a small part of his career he was on the side of Fernando Alonso and When asked about the most difficult pilot, he did not hesitate to recall the battle between the two of them in 2017 while sharing a team with McLaren. “I think it’s hard to say who was the strongest opponent because every time you fight someone, you’re in a different period of your life. I remember the challenge of being by Fernando’s side when he was 22 years old. He is very young mentally and, of course, he has a great level, but it is a big pressure to face a great like Fernando.Lewis Hamilton explains.

And although at first he doesn’t seem to be on the side of any of the drivers he’s up against, he discovers who it is. “I would say that in terms of pure speed, Fernando has been the toughest and also because of skill. We had great matches and I wish we had more. I hope he continues to run, so I hope we have many more matches in the future“.

Because of these words and with Fernando Alonso, the Asturian driver does not want to miss the opportunity to talk about the eighth champion. “I don’t think much has changed, to be honest, he already had talent in 2007, he still has talent today, in addition to experience. He has been an incredible driver, a legend of our sport, so it has been a pleasure to share all this time with him.. And then perhaps no one thought that someone would win seven titles like Michael Schumacher, and he has. Their journey has been great and the team they have all built at Mercedes over the years is exceptional. Congratulations on 300 and we hope to see you again at the top of the podium“.

Despite the fact that their rivalry has always been strong and they have not been able to understand each other at all times, they have shown that they both value each other’s work and constantly fighting each other is a dream.
