Alonso on relationship with Schumacher: “Difficult to have a conversation with him”. Alonso is now the longest-serving driver in Formula 1 and is also seen as Lewis Hamilton's successor at Mercedes.

Schumi's son Mick is also hoping for the Silver Arrows (LuHa) to succeed his father in F1. The German legend had already won three world championship titles when Alonso made his Formula 1 debut in 2001. Alonso admits that in the following years he consciously copied a lot of things from Schumi to get to his level.
