The 41-year-old Spaniard has battled many world champions throughout his lengthy F1 career but belie𝓡ves seven-time world champion Schumacher was the toughest of the lot. 

As well as Schumacher and former McLaren teammate Hamilton, Alonso’s list of opponents includes other world champions such as 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Sebastian Vettel, 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mika Hakkinen and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen. 

Al𒐪onso brought an end to Schumacher’s reign of F1 domination when he beat the Ferrari driver to back-to-back titles while driv𝐆ing for Renault in 2005 and 2006. 

“It is diff🐓icult to piౠck one because they were all great rivals and very talented drivers as well,” Alonso told Bang & Olufsen. 

“When I came to this sport, Michael Schumacher was dominating the races and everyth🎐ing, probably that fight with him would still be the one I would choose.

“Fighti💟ng against Michael was very special, so I would say that.”

Asked to pick the best moments from his illustrious career, Alonso replied: “All the memories from different teams are very linked with the res𒁏ults I got in that 🧜moment.

“For Ferrari, I will pic🌜k the first race I🔴 won. Aston Martin, obviously I will pick [Bahrain] where we got the podium, and from Renault I will pick the championship.

"The biggest one was the first championship, ༺always the first championship. The second was obviously emotional, but the first one was like a dream come true, and a life goal.”

Alonso has enjoyed a dream start to life at Aston Martin, who have proven to be Red Bu🍒ll’s closest challengers in 2023 following a sensational winter turnaround. 

Alon🍷so has already claimed three podium finishes from the 🔯first three races of the season and is dreaming of ending his decade-long wait for a 33rd career victory, as well as winning an elusive third world title before he retires.   

“I always believe it’s possible, that’s why I🧜 keep racing,” he said. “The challenge is big, you know that you need to overcome some difficulties and some top teams who are at the top of the sport.

“But I race every day and I train every day thinking that the third title is possible.”&nbsﷺp;
