“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.
