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 dominance. 

Hamilton claimed six of hi﷽s seven world championships during Mercedes’ unprecedented streak of eight consecutive constructors’ titles between 2014 and 2021.

Alonso, who has rarely seen eye-to-eye with Hamilton, rejected the seven-time world champion’s ꦰremarks in an interview with French publication ahead of this weekend’s Austꦉralian Grand Prix. 

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

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

41-year-old Alonso also ap🔯peared to take a swipe at his old nemesis’ recent performances, suggesting Hamilton benefitted from having such♏ a competitive car for a number of years. 

“With a normal car, you c𝔉an see that he has weaknesses,” Alonso added. 

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

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

Their rivalry flared up again du𒁏ring the 2022 season when Hamilton and Alonso collided at🉐 the Belgian Grand Prix. 

Alonso ♚has enjoyed a strong start to 2023 in his much-improved Aston Martin, which appears to have overtaken Hamilton’s Mercedes in the pecking order.
