Fernando Alonso has declared that his new Formula 1 team-mate "has the possibility to be world champion".
The Spaniard has known Lance Stroll for a long time, though they have never raced together for the same team in F1. That changes this year, with Alonso now driving for Aston Martin – a team looking to fulfil the potential it has repeatedly insisted it has.
Alonso has been speaking from that same hymn sheet ever since he signed his contract. In a new interview released by the team, he has pledged to give everything so that either he or Stroll – or whoever comes after them – can experience such success.
