The four-time Formula 1 world champion and current Renault team manager, Alain Prost , appreciated the signing of Fernando Alonso in an interview with Reuters. "I had doubts about his hiring and spoke with Fernando several times," said the Frenchman, who added that the attitude of the Spanish convinced him to close the hiring: "I really trust him, he is going to have a different philosophy. Two years out of the Formula 1, in my opinion, might not have been bad for him, he has had a different feeling, a different vision and that may be good. "

Prost confirmed that they also spoke with Sebastian Vettel and Valtteri Bottas , but that they opted for Spanish: "He always showed his motivation to return to the team. Even last year, in Abu Dhabi, we had a long talk with him. He knows what is going on. to get in terms of the performance of the car, you know that 2021 will be a bit difficult too. You are up for it. I really think it is going to be very different from what people might think. "

The former great rival of Ayrton Senna also gave his opinion on the future of the reigning champion, Lewis Hamilton , and his possible place in the history of the World Cup. According to Prost, the Brit, who has six world championships under his belt, may add more. In fact, from the French point of view, only the Red Bull team could face Mercedes because Ferrari is far from its best level.

"Hamilton is getting stronger and stronger. I can't imagine another winning this year. Maybe Valtteri because he has the same car. It will depend on how many races there are and if you lose one or two because of a mechanical problem, you never know," Prost analyzed, who asked how many titles the Briton could add, replied: "He already has six. I would say eight, without problems."

Hamilton has one crown less than Michael Schumacher , but the feelings that Mercedes leaves for this year, and his victories in the first two tests in Austria of this season marked by the COVID-19, suggest that the title of this season also He will end up going to the German team. In addition, it should be noted that the rules will remain unchanged until next year.

"Beating Lewis, especially with the car and the team he has now, is going to be very difficult. Almost impossible under normal circumstances. I don't see any team beating Mercedes this year or next year. Afterward, I don't know. Maybe Renault, "said the former driver.
