The Haas team principal was asked by Sky which duo of current drivers 🎀he would select, if money was no object.

But he chose not to pick the driver with the joint-most F1 champio♑nships in history.

"I wouldn't say Lꦡewis because he's getting on🌳 with age,” Steiner said.

“But there is another one who is ve♌ry good. This is Fernando Alonso. 

“I mean, the guy is over 40 and🧔, man, he knows how to 🐼drive!”

Considering his favoured pair, Steiner teased: "I think it will be controversial. But I can bꩵe open about it because they are not coming to drive for me anyway! That's solve🦋d that problem of the controversy,

"I think it would be 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Max Verstappen, for sure. And either 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Charles Leclerc or 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell.”

Steiner said about Verstappen: "I think he, at the moment, is just a𒀰 driver who, talent-wise and mentally-wise, is just on a peak.

"H🐻e's just on🐈 top of the wave. He can do anything with a car at the moment. Everything seems to be going right for him."

Although the Haas boss’ choices were entirely hypothetical, Hamilton’s contractual situation at Mꦇerꦫcedes means a dream switch of big-name drivers is possible.

Mercedes only have Hamilton on a deal for the rest of this season, leading toꦏ speculation he could consider a move.

Ferrari’s Leclerc and McLaren’s Lando Norris have been mentioned as future🅘 Mercedes drivers when Ha🌱milton does eventually leave.

Red Bull driver Verstappen has the opportunity to edge a step closer to a third consecutive title at this weekend’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 Azerbaijan Grand Prix.
