Alonso : I think that with the same car, any pilot would have been able to do the same thing as Lewis and Sebastian.

Like most protagonists of Formula 1, Fernando Alonso spoke about Lewis Hamilton's world champion title.

Teammates at McLaren in 2007, the two men had lived a difficult cohabitation, but since few years, there is a lot of mutual respect between them.

Nevertheless, the Spaniard still wanted to point out that the performance of the now five-time world champion was closely linked to the fact that he had the chance to enjoy a great car in recent years. Previously, it was Sebastian Vettel who had this opportunity, which allowed him to win 4 titles between 2010 and 2013.

Speaking to reporters after the race, Alonso said:
"I think that with the same car, any pilot would have been able to do the same thing as Lewis and Sebastian."
"They had the opportunity to have a car that was half a second or a second ahead of the others."
"With such material, it is easier to win a championship."
"Lewis now has five, and I think next year he will still be the favorite, it's a good thing for him."
