Lewis Hamilton ignored by ex rival: “Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso head and shoulders above”

Giancarlo Fisichella’s 14-year career encompassed♎ F1 championship wins ꧑for Schumacher, Alonso and Hamilton.
And Fisichella won’t even name Hamilton a🌞s this era’s No 1.
“Michael Schumacher an🎶d F♏ernando Alonso are head and shoulders above everyone else,” he told .
“Fernando at almost 42 is living a second ꦑyouth with Aston Martin.
“The car is fine, he puts his mind and desire 💯into it.”
Asked if he’d want Max Verstappe൩n or Hamilton as the leader of his dream team, Fisichella had no doubt.
“Verstappen,” he said. “♑It is the evolution of the species, Max has something more and gives the impression of driving with one hand.”

Fisichella was on the grid throug✨hout Sch💛umacher’s Ferrari heyday.
And he was teammates wit💝h Alonso at Renault during the Spaniard’s two title-winning years, 2005 and 2006.
Fisichella fin♍ished fifth and fourth in those years, both times behind Schumacher ꦓtoo.
He later endured a drab year in 2008 driving for Force India when Hamilton claimed the first of a joint-re𒁃cord seven titles.
Fisichella drove for Minardi, Jordan, Benetton, Saubeꦺr, Renault, Force India and Ferrari in a career that yielded three grands prix vic🦄tories.
He remain𒊎s the most re🅺cent Italian driver to win an F1 race.
