Fernando Alonso weighs in on Lewis Hamilton 'car vs driver' debate


Two-time world champion Fernando Alonso suggested that Lewis Hamilton is not getting the credit he deserves as one of the most successful Formula 1 driver of all time. The British driver became one of the most decorated drivers in F1 history with seven world titles. He surpassed Michael Schumacher's record.

  Moreover, Hamilton won three of the first four Grand Prix of the year. But Alonso believes, though some of it is down to the machinery beneath you, it doesn't count for everything. "Even with the best car, you have to deliver every weekend," explained the Spaniard to Spanish publication Marca. "Whether it's dry or raining or whatever. You have to perform when Red Bull has a good weekend and also on circuits where you are actually slower.

  "It seems that at the moment he is experiencing the ideal moment of his driving skills and his role in the team. You can only achieve something like that if you perform at the top level. I don't know if there is enough appreciation for what he does."
