Fernando Alonso has claimed Lewis Hamilton's world championships are not as valuable as those won by Max Verstappen.

Hamilton shares the record of seven titles with Michael Schumacher, but speaking ahead of this weekend's Mexican Grand Prix, Alonso, 41, suggested both men owed their success to only having to beat their respective team-mates.
