Alonso: "Hamilton the best driver in Formula 1"
Link: Formula 1
Q: Ferrari’s Fernando Alonso recently paid you a huge compliment, saying that he believes you are the only driver in the field who can win races with a car that is not as competitive as the best car on the grid. He said he will be watching you during the winter tests…
LH: I am honoured that Fernando is so positive about my qualities, despite this season and the differences that we had. Our relationship has got a lot stronger and the respect that we have for each other is much stronger. It is great to see that he has come out with these compliments, as I have also always said that he is one of the best drivers. So in general it is really good to hear that I have received support from other drivers as well.
He is 100% correct though.

Alonso, like Hamilton, is a bit Marmite. He's a brilliant driver and him and Lewis in the same team was Nirvana if it would have worked. However, there wasn't enough room in Surrey for 2 ego's of that size and it went Pete Tong in spectacular fashion.
Over the past few years, there has been several stories detailing their mutual respect as competitors and personally, I find it refreshing from what I consider to be the 2 best drivers in F1 at the moment.

I'm not sure Alonso and Hamilton are exactly friends like claimed here, but they seem to get on fine.
As for being the "best". Well, currently there are at least 3 drivers in F1, who are better than Hamilton. A year ago with different regulations that claim would have been believable.

I was at a Motorsport evening in the North not long ago,when one of the presenters Rob Smedley,when asked who he thought was the best driver in F1 said Lewis Hamilton.I put it on this forum ,and it was laughed down by many.Why do so many on here froth at the mouth so much,when another driver or team member gives an opinion that mentions Lewis as in their opinion as a good driver ?

Best and good is a big difference. Alonso's the best. Hamilton is good (kfzmeister puts on flamesuit!)

It's just mind games directed against Button.
At the beginning of the season he was saying something else.Michael Schumacher The Best Ever F1 Driver
