The Haas team principal was asked by Sky which duo of current drivers he would select, i🥃f money 💫was no object.

But he chose not to pick the driver with the joint-most F1 championships in hist🃏ory.

"I wouldn't say Lewis because he's getting on🏅 with age,” Steiner said.

“But there is anot😼her one who is very good. Thi💧s is Fernando Alonso. 

“I mea🐬n, the guy is over 40 and, man, he knows how to drive!”

Considering his favoured pair, Steinerജ teased: "I think it will be controversial. But I can be open about it because they are not coming to drive for me anyway! That's solved that problem of the controversy,

"I think it would be 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen, for sure. And either 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Charles Leclerc or 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.”

Steiner said about Verstappen🎀: "I think he, at the moment, is just a driver who, talent-wise and mentally-wise, is just on a ♈peak.

"He's just on top of the wave. He can do anything with a car at the moment. Ev༒erything seems to be go♎ing right for him."

Although the Haas boss🃏’ choices were entirely hypothetical, Hamilton’s contractual situation at Merﷺcedes means a dream switch of big-name drivers is possible.

Mercedes only have Hamilton on a deal for the r🌺est of this seasꦉon, leading to speculation he could consider a move.

Ferrari’s Lecler꧅c and McL💦aren’s Lando Norris have been mentioned as future Mercedes drivers when Hamilton does eventually leave.

Red Bull driver Verstappen has the opportunity to edge a step closer to a third consecutive title at this weekend’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
