KUALA LUMPUR: Do not underestimate the power of Formula One's veteran stars Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton despite the exciting emergence of a new generation of young drivers, says Haas team principal Ayao Komatsu.
Komatsu believes Alonso and Hamilton still have the experience, race craft, and instinct to keep the balance of power in check, even as several young drivers continue to make their mark in the sport.
However, Komatsu quickly pointed out that experience shouldn't be discounted, especially with two of F1's most accomplished drivers.
"No, I think you only need to look at people like Fernando Alonso, who is 45 years old, still performing at the highest level. He just signed for another year of contract because he still has the hunger," said Komatsu at the Sepang Circuit.
