ABU DHABI, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES – NOVEMBER 22: Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain and Mercedes GP and Fernando Alonso of Spain and McLaren F1 talk in the Drivers Press Conference during previews ahead of the Abu Dhabi Formula One Grand Prix at Yas Marina Circuit on November 22, 2018 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.

Lewis Hamilton took the world by storm as he finished on the podium in his very first race in F1. The boy from Stevenage had a great battle that season with his then-teammate and double-world champion, Fernando Alonso. However, the rookie lost the title to Ferrari’s Kimi Raikkonen by a mere point. He went on to win it the next year.
Hamilton never looked back after winning his first world title. He has shattered multiple records and is the joint-highest title winner with Michael Schumacher, winning 7 titles. Moreover, Lewis also holds the record for winning the most races in F1, which is 103. Hamilton joined Mercedes from McLaren in 2013 and won 6 of his 7 titles there.

On the other side, Alonso’s career followed a different trajectory after Hamilton’s arrival. The Spaniard never won a title ever since Lewis joined the grid.
Moreover, his recent comments regarding his ex-teammate have sparked a major controversy on Twitter. Alonso complimented Max Verstappen, and it looked like he was belittling Lewis’ success in the process. Verstappen won his 2nd title after winning the Japanese Grand Prix a few weeks ago.
He said, “I think Verstappen’s titles are more valuable than what Hamilton has achieved. I have a lot of respect for Lewis, but it’s different when you only race with your teammate and win 7 titles.”
The Spaniard’s comments caused major outrage on Twitter. Subsequently, Hamilton fans shared their opinions on the social media platform.

Never listen to anything Alonso has to say, he has always been a Lewis hater, imagine being the reigning 2 time champion and then being embarrassed by the rookie who would go on to become the most successful of all time while u were stinking it up in backmarker cars. Must hurt. pic.twitter.com/gmOagj11Ds

This is why I never and don't buy the "Alonso praises Hamilton" or "he has respect for Hamilton" it's all for PR, image and cameras where in fact in his mind he is still bitter about 2007.
When a young Sir Lewis Hamilton finished and beat Mr salty Alonslow 🤣🤣🤣🤣 https://t.co/lpDFZeK24F

Furthermore, one fan had enough of Alonso’s obsession with Sir Lewis Hamilton. Meanwhile, another fan reminded the Spaniard of Lewis’ famous title fight against the Ferrari drivers over the years.
Alonso is so obsessed with Hamilton it’s unhealthy, Lewis never won a title in a illegal car or from a racing director breaking the sporting regulations to help him win.

On Alonso's comments on titles – easy to forget now, but Hamilton had a very competitive Vettel and Ferrari to beat in 2017 and 2018. Ferrari capitulated both times, just like they did against Max this year. Doesn't diminish any of those three title wins in my view.

Alonso is still smarting from being spanked by rookie Hamilton in 2007. Lewis effectively derailed the whole career of a double WDC in his first year in #F1.
Fernando is fooling no-one. Two – let’s be generous – “questionable” titles for Verstappen aren’t worth a crap.

There’s no denying that Lewis is certainly one of the greats of Formula 1. Additionally, the Mercedes driver has been the voice for many social causes in the paddock. Do you think Lewis Hamilton is the GOAT of F1?
