Alonso ‘amazed’ by Hamilton’s continued success in F1

At the moment, there is nothing that can stop Lewis Hamiltonon the race circuit. He has been dominating for the last several years and 2019saw him win his sixth world drivers' title.

The Mercedes driver is now one short of equaling leaderMichael Schumacher (7 titles). Hamilton could be on his way to more glory.

Hamilton was superb in 2019 and finished atop the standingswith 413 points. Fellow Mercedes driver Valtteri Bottas (326) finished second. Hamiltonwent on to win 11 races in 2019, whereas, his team Mercedes clinching 15 races.

Notably, Mercedes dominated from the start to win eightraces in a row. Meanwhile, Hamilton sealed six wins that included foursuccessive ones.

During the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, it wasHamilton's 250th consecutive race start. Hamilton, who won the race, notchedhis 84th career victory. He needs eight wins in 2020 season to surpassSchumacher's tally of 91. Hamilton has sealed five titles in the last sixseasons at Mercedes. He has won three successive titles from 2017-19. Therefore,a seventh drivers' title looks set.

"It has been the best year I would say of my career Iam really proud of what we have achieved as a team," said Hamilton.

Most importantly, it was his life off the track that madehim happier. "The season as a whole was as strong as the last I canremember. More so from the outside, just being happier," he added.

Hamilton and Mercedes have formed a deadly combination over the years. Mercedes have sealed six successive Constructors Championships from 2014 to 2019.

With Ferrari being highly inconsistent, Mercedes have benefited. Hamilton is the best driver on the track and the manner, in which he has thwarted his rivals, shows why he is the ultimate catch. He can truly set an example in 2020.
