Lewis Hamilton slams Fernando Alonso's career choices

Lewis Hamilton has taken a dig over Fernando Alonso's career choices. The Brit is sure Alonso would have won many more titles had he made the correct career choices. The Spaniard now finds himself stuck at McLaren, a team which look to be in constant reverse.

While Hamilton moved away from McLaren at just the right time to make the best career move, Alonso could have moved to Red Bull. In the time after, Sebastian Vettel got the seat and won four consecutive World Championships. Championships which could well have fallen into Alonso's hands.

"Sure, he could have had more World Titles, but it's not like he did not have the chance," Hamilton told Racefans after becoming champion for the fifth time.

Over the course of the week, the likes of Max Verstappen and Daniel Ricciardo have admitted they feel jealous not having the Mercedes seat. They have both suggested they'd win titles.

But Hamilton points out Alonso's mistake. He claims the two-time World Champion thought he controlled the driver market.

"If you think like him, you control the driver market, then you should not be surprised if you end up empty-handed," Hamilton added.
