Hamilton: Everything will go well for Alonso’s return to McLaren
Even though Fernando Alonso's arrival at McLaren has not been made official, Lewis Hamilton believes that the Spanish driver's return to the British team will not be problematic despite a new collaboration between Alonso and Ron Dennis, which did not go well in 2007.
The McLaren team is the only team, besides Caterham, that has not announced its driver lineup for the 2015 season and it seems that this will continue for some time. But everyone imagines Fernando Alonso to be one of the two men chosen by the British team.
Lewis Hamilton has no doubt, and the recent world champion believes that the new collaboration between Alonso and Ron Dennis at McLaren will not encounter the same issues as the first time in 2007, when he himself was alongside the Spaniard. Coming from Renault F1, Alonso left the McLaren team at the end of 2007 after just one season to return to the French team.
Hamilton is confident about the future relationship between Alonso and Dennis – who recently returned as McLaren’s boss, as he mentioned during the Mercedes Stars & Cars: “It’s an interesting decision with the team, but I wish him the best. It will be a new experience for them. Fernando has made significant progress over the years, both as a driver and from a maturity standpoint. And, having prior experience with Ron, he will clearly have a better grasp and won’t be in a tricky situation like last time.”
