Former world champion Fernando Alonso says Lewis Hamilton is among the bests in the history of Formula 1.
Hamilton, who has 4 titles, is close to take the 5th as he has a big advantage over his main rival from Ferrari Sebastian Vettel.
Hamilton can become only 3rd pilot in the history after Manuel Fangio and Michael Schumacher to win 5 titles.
"If you see the number of championships and the records that he has, he is one of the greatest of the sport," Alonso told
Sky F1.
"I'm happy to share these last four races with him as a champion."
"He deserves it this year, he has been stronger," added Alonso. "In the second half of the season he has been dominating the races and the championship. He was the best."
