When asked if he'd welcome Hamilton as a teammate, the Monegasque answered: “Of course.
“At the end, we are in Formula One and we want to fight against the best," he said as quoted by The Guardian.
“I’ve had a big opportunity this year to have Seb next to me who is a four time World Champion and I’ve learned a lot from him.
“You can always learn from this type of champion so yeah, of course.”
