The trio finished on the podium together for the second time this season at the Canadian Grand Prix, having also shared the rostrum in A♔ustralia. 

Hamilton, Verstappen and Alonso have won a combined total of 11 drivers’ titles and are F1’s only active world champions following 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Sebastian Vettel’s retirement at the end of 2022. 

Seven-time world champion Hamilton described the Montreal podium as “iconic”.&nbs🍃p;

"It's just a privilege to be up here📖 fighting these two, who have done incredible in their careers," Hamilton said.

"This is quite an iconic top three - I don't know if there's been a top three like this ever before,🍃 I don't believe there has.

"I'm really hoping atꦯ some stage we have a more level playing field in our cars and then we'll have much more excitin💫g races in the future.

"I'm happy to be back in the mix, and I'm just hoping at some stage we can be a bit more level so we can get back to some of the good races 🦩we had back in 2021.

"To h❀ave all three of us in a ♎super-tight battle would be sick.”

Alonso said he thor🌞oughly enjoyed his “very intense” but “very fair” battle with Hamilton for second plac🐻e in Canada. 

"It's good, it's great. I really enjoy☂ these battles. This podium happened in Australia, I think last time, and now here,” the Spaniard said. 

"There is a lot of respect, a lot of talent, when you fight against Max, Lewis, you know that you cannot make a mistake because they will take advantage of that and they will not ma🉐ke a mistake.

"So if you want to beat them, you need to be tenth after tenth faster to close th൲at gap, it's not anythi🎐ng that will benefit.

"It's a very intense battle, very fair, very respectful. Even the overtaking possibility that we had on the DRS for me when I passed Lewis, you know that you can tr♛ust what he's doing - he will defend hard but within the limits.

“[It was the] same at the start - I guess when you start on the front two rows with these ﷽guys, there is a sense of awareness and respect that is not sometimes in other parts.”

Fellow two-time world champion Verstappen, who drew level with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Ayrton Senna’s tally of victories with his 41st win in Canada to strengthen his grip on the 2023 world title, added: "I remember back in the day I was watching t𓆏hese two already in Formula 1 racing each other. 

"So, of course, I'm very happy now that I'm in F1 as well,ꦬ racing💦 them is probably one of the best things out there.

"When we can share a podium together, we've done it a few times, I think it's great. I think they want t♛o swap positions, of course, I'm happy in the middle at the moment."
