While several seasons have passed since the duo was on the same team at the pinnacle of motor racing, Lewis Hamilton was recently asked whether he would be open to teaming up with the 41-year-old once again; as a response, he said, “If the stars line up, yes, I would share a team again with Fernando Alonso, but I don’t think it will happen.”
The former 7-time F1 World Champion has made it clear that while he would be 100 percent in favor of teaming up with Fernando Alonso, he does not see that as something that would be possible this late in their F1 careers. He is on point in his assessment, as both are driving for different teams at the moment, and their days in F1 are numbered.
