Fernando Alonso says Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari could make Italian team championship contender in 2025 He said it was possible.
Alonso added that the Aston Martin team is his “first priority” if Hamilton remains in F1 beyond this year, before considering which seat he would leave at Mercedes.
The Spaniard said: [In recent years] Ferrari have had very fast cars and were fighting for big things. Alonso said he believed the new Aston Martin "should be a good step forward", a point made by Ferrari. In the last five races of last season, he took more pole positions than Red Bull. "Even last year, Ferrari was able to match the very dominant Red Bull car in lap times and was faster than them in most qualifying sessions, so the car should be fast enough," he said.
