Alonso puts Schumacher over Hamilton: “Had that certain extra”

“I remember Michael as a hard-to-beat pilot, someone with the greatest talent. He had that certain something extra,” said the 39-year-old Spaniard Sports picture . Mercedes star Hamilton, who is currently eyeing his seventh title and thus the setting of the Schumacher brand, is “very good and the best of his generation,” said Alonso: “But he didn’t win the World Cup with McLaren as a teammate by Jenson Button. Nico Rosberg also won the World Cup at Mercedes. Michael never had things like that, he always won. For me, Michael has the edge.” Alonso himself won the title in 2005 and 2006, and particularly in the fight for his second World Cup he fought a bitter duel with Schumacher. After a two-year break from Formula 1, Alonso will return to the premier class in 2021 - to Renault (then Alpine F1), with whom he had his most successful time. Alonso feels for Vettel Things went less well for Alonso at Ferrari between 2010 and 2014. Alonso feels for his successor Sebastian Vettel, who will also remain without a title at the Reds: “When you sign with Ferrari, you assume that you can win the World Cup. But sometimes you don't have the luck at the right moment, and so opportunities go by." He believes that he and four-time world champion Vettel (33) "lacked the right car and the technical possibilities at the right moment."
