Fernando Alonso acknowledged Lewis Hamilton‘s champion attitude when the former couldn’t make an overtake on him at Albert Park despite being in a faster car. What’s funny is that Alonso and Hamilton, who are the oldest and most accomplished drivers on the F1 grid, have gone through the typical romantic novel trajectory of foes turning into friends. With the recent praise both men have been showering at each other, we can even smell F1 world’s newest romance brewing.

While Nando is constantly being linked to Taylor Swift post her breakup with Joe Alwyn, the former’s real love is brewing elsewhere. I am sure when the fans saw the duo battling at McLaren in 2007, nobody in a thousand years would have thought that the two would come to a point where they wouldn’t stop gushing about each other.

Lewis Hamilton when asked by Motorsport about age affecting the game, he said, “You have to look at how Fernando [Alonso] is driving, the talent is still there, it hasn’t gone away, he’s in great shape and he’s doing an incredible job. I think the DNA of racing is in the blood, and now the younger generation is more informed, stronger, and fitter.” We definitely cannot deny that the matador at 41 years of age is in his top form.
