“I definitely enjoy working alongside him. He’s incredibly talented, knowledgeable, experienced, and hungry to get the most out of himself every day. I have a huge amount of respect for him, because he’s been doing that for a long time.”

“He’s been at the top of his game for… how many years has he been in F1 now? Like, I don’t know, more than 20 years? So, I think just to see that determination and focus and motivation every day, I have a lot of respect for that.”

Alonso has tested the champagne on four out of five races this season, while Stroll is yet to step on the podium. He will be fully motivated to achieve that as he admitted that it is his main target.
