Both parties haveജ often been complimentary about each other, while coincidentally, Verstappen and Alonso have shared intense rivalries with Hamil🗹ton over the years.
In an interview with The Times, Verstappen praised Alonso for 🍰“showing extra capac🐓ity” when racing in F1.
“I do like to think that having extra capacity is a big advantage꧙ in F1,” Verstappen said. “You cannot trainಌ that kind of thing. Only a few drivers have it.
“For me, definitely Fernando [Alonso] - I can feel that, from the way he operates in the car, picking up on little things, showing this extra capacity - still driving at the limit but thin🐭king ꦜabout other stuff as well.
“You are 💯talking to the engineer but I am also hearing a pit stop by a Ferrari car.
“I asked, ‘Did they box? I heard thꦉat on the radio.’ But if you are fully focused on you❀r driving, you probably won’t pick it up because you are fully focused on his voice.”
Verstappen was ♈pressed on why he didn’t choose Hamilton in his answer.
“No𒁏, because Fernando stands out moཧre with that,” he explained. “
