Fernando Alonso rubbished the claim by Lewis Hamilton that Red Bull have the fastest Formula 1 car he has ever seen and suggested the Brit has "a short memory".
Red Bull dominated the first two races of 2023 with one-two finishes both in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia. In the second race, Max Verstappen started 15th after a mechanical issue in qualifying but made light work of cutting through the pack, including a very easy overtake on Hamilton.
The Mercedes racer later said he did not even attempt to defend against the Dutchman, given the performance gulf between their cars. "I have definitely never seen a car so fast," he declared – quite the statement considering Hamilton has raced in F1 since 2007.
