Fernando Alonso gives his thoughts on Lewis Hamilton’s longevity in Formula 1, and says “when someone faster comes, we’ll talk, but at the moment Hamilton is faster than anyone”.
After it was announced that Lewis Hamilton will drive for Mercedes until the end of 2025, into his forties, the oldest driver on the F1 grid – Fernando Alonso – was asked to give his thoughts on the Briton’s longevity.
“Age can sometimes be a problem with demotivation,” the Spaniard told Mundo Deportivo.
“Or you see that you are no longer at 100% of your performance, or your focus and your concerns are other than F1.

“Something like that can happen with age and because of the life we have.
“But in the case of Hamilton, who continues to perform at 100% and his main concern is F1 – like in my case – it’s not a problem.
“When someone faster comes, we’ll talk, but at the moment Hamilton is faster than anyone,” Alonso concluded.
