Lewis Hamilton has surprisingly revealed that he would be happy to team up with his former Formula 1 rival and team-mate Fernando Alonso.

Hamilton and Alonso, the oldest drivers in Formula 1, have a longstanding rivalry that dates back to Hamilton's debut season in 2007. The two were team-mates at McLaren at the time but experienced a highly publicised falling out, leading them to part ways.

Although it would make for an experienced pairing, Hamilton believes the chances of such a reunion are slim as he sets his focus on off-track initiatives.

"If the stars align, yes, I would share a team with Fernando Alonso again," said the seven-time world champion to DAZN.

"But I don't think it will happen."

"I don't know what my next project will be," he said.

"Animal protection laws have to continue to be reviewed, with the environment, it is difficult for people to see the disasters that occur.

"I have 'Mission 44', a project that I launched in London and I want to expand it to Africa and the US with which we want to instil in children that they can have a good future, that they can become engineers or whatever they want."
