"At the end of the day, I am such a strong competitor," said Hamilton. "Whatever I do I want to be up against the best and beat the best out there. I am working next to the best driver, so I am able to compare myself to him, to learn from everything that he does and to eventually try to beat him.
"I'm just very realistic. He (Alonso) is a two-time world champion, so he knows all the tracks, he knows what an F1 car is like, he knows the ins and the outs and he's been in there for a few years, whereas I am still learning. I have a lot to learn. He's going to be the No 1. He's my benchmark, that's where I have to work to. I have to close that gap, so who knows? We might get to the first race and be a lot closer than people expect."
Hamilton's challenge will begin on March 18th in Melbourne. "There is not a day that goes by that I don't think about it," he said. "I am just on a unique rollercoaster ride right now and loving every minute of it, and I can't wait for the first race."
