As he approaches his 300th grand prix start, Lewis Hamilton says Fernando Alonso is the toughest competitor he faced in F1.

While the ‘spygate’ scandal would relieve McLaren of all its points in the constructors’ table, Hamilton pipped Alonso to runner-up behindin the drivers’ championship courtesy of scoring one more second-place finish after the Woking duo tied on 109 points, four wins and eight further podiums apiece.

Hamilton said of the"great" Spaniard: “I think it’s difficult to say who has necessarily been the strongest competitor because every time you’re with someone, you’re in a different place in your life.“I was so young mentally and, of course, OK in terms of skill but it’s a lot of pressure to go up against a great like Fernando.“I wish we could have more. Hopefully he will continue to race so hopefully we’ll have more in the future.
