Hamilton has been unable to compete for the championship since he was controversially denied winning a record-breaking eighth drivers’ crown at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. 

Having missed out on a title that would have seen him move clear of the all-time record he currently shares with fellow seven-time world champion 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Michael Schumacher, Hamilton has been forced to watch Verstappen dominate amid Mercedes’𝕴 struggles. 

But two-time world champion Alonso has𓃲 backed Hamilton, 38, to achieve his goa🐽l before he hangs up his helmet. 

“I don’t know if that will be next year, or in the future, but he will have another chan♛ce of winning the champion♐ship, that is for sure,” Alonso told the PA. 

“Mercedes are a very str⛄ong team, and Lewis is a very strong driver. He doesn’t forget how to drive from one season to the next.

“The Mercedes ca𒅌r 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.”

Verstappen appears well on course to clinch a third consecutive world championship this seasonꦜ, having won four of the six races in Red Bull’s unbeaten RB19. 

Ahead of this weekend’s Spanish 🦩Grand Prix, Verstappen admitted his Red Bull car has the outright pace to win all𒉰 the remaining races this season. 

And Alonso rec🙈kons Verstappen, who is still only 25, can go on to set a new benchmark of F1 records. 

“Until the regulations change in 2026, Red Bull will contꦛend for the championships so there will be many chances for Max to win race💟s,” the Spaniard explained. 

“He is young, the calendar is longe♌r than ever before, with 24 opportunities to win every year, so he can break the records along the way.

“But there are also no guarantees. When I won two championships [🍎in 2005 and 2006], I thought I would win a ♊few more and have a lot of wins, so Max cannot relax because things can change quickly.”
