Fernando Alonso: “Hamilton has little relationship with everyone”
Fernando Alonso was asked about the relationship between drivers in Formula 1. The Alpine driver assures that there is very good vibes with the Latinos despite the fact that later, on the track, they are all rivals.
About Lewis Hamilton, he says that he has changed over the years and that he has isolated himself from the rest of the drivers.
“Hamilton has a special place. He is out of category. He has little relationship with everyone. In these years he isolated himself a bit. He is in the world of fashion, he is dressed like that very strange,” says Fernando Alonso.
