Lewis Hamilton Named His Toughest Ever Opponent

Lewis Hamilton has snubbed rival Max Verstappen in naming his toughest opponent ever, despite the Red Bull Racing driver beating him to the world drivers' championship last season.Hamilton was cruelly beaten to the world title on the last lap of the last race of the season, back in December 2021, with

Ahead of this weekend's French Grand Prix, the British driver was asked who he considered the toughest man he's raced against, and he picked former McLaren teammate Fernando Alonso. "I remember being alongside Fernando when I was 22. I was so young mentally. There was pressure going up against a great like him."And in terms of pure pace I would say Fernando [was the best]. We had good battles. I wish we could have some more."Things were not always so cordial and respectful between the pair, as they got heated in Hamilton's rookie season in 2007 at McLaren.

Hamilton won his first grand prix in Canada, only his sixth race, then won the very next one in America and finished the season with four wins.

He has literally battled more with Vettel and Alonso in his career. It's just facts. Why are u all desperately crying for him to say that Max is his toughest opponent. It just ain't true. Live with it. You won't die 😂 Just shows how needy y'all are for his approval

Masi was LH's strongest opponent.

Max burned him last year, guy is still salty. His weekly passive aggressive snubs and comments are showing. Just jealousy by Lewis.

to be fair its easier to compare to a team mate & he was against him in his rookie season so thats always gonna be tough
