"Goes from dissing Lewis to respecting him every other week" - Fans don't buy Fernando Alonso praising Mercedes driver

Fernando Alonso recently praised Lewis Hamilton for his racing skills and said that he does not make any mistakes.

The contradictory comments from the Spaniard were not appreciated by F1 fans.Speaking to the media, including Sportskeeda, before the 2023 Azerbaijan GP, Fernando Alonso lauded Hamilton and observed how he makes no mistakes:“He’s a legend of our sport. We saw in Australia. I think we spent the whole race within two seconds of distance, playing with the distance a little bit. He has no weak point. He does no mistakes. He’s a very tough competitor.&quot;Fans, though, were unable to digest the comment and said that Fernando Alonso flipped his opinions and feelings towards Lewis Hamilton way too quickly. They called the Spaniard out for his inconsistent statements. Some also discussed how Alonso put Hamilton on a pedestal only to make himself look good. Twitterati also pointed out how harshly Alonso spoke of Hamilton in his radio messages.One said:&quot;Alonso goes from dissing Lewis to respecting him every other week&quot;Here are some of the top Twitter reactions:Kev@2KEVlN@MercedesNewsUK alonso goes from dissing lewis to respecting him every other week521@MercedesNewsUK alonso goes from dissing lewis to respecting him every other weekMichael Adair@Michael_J_Adair@MercedesNewsUK Really?

He was initially hoping to learn and improve this year, but the green British team is already rubbing shoulders with top teams like Ferrari and Mercedes. Alonso said:&quot;I was hoping 2023 to be a learning season and in 2024 maybe to be challenging Ferrari and Mercedes and things like that. But we challenged them in Bahrain in race one, so obviously now everything looks more optimistic.&quot;He continued:&quot;From Baku, Imola, Barcelona, the teams will start to bring upgrades to the car, and we need to also be a top team in that regard. On-track but also off-track, we need to learn many things throughout this season to be a contender in 2024, hopefully.&quot;The 41-year-old is third in the drivers' championship, while Aston Martin are second place in the constructors' championship.
