The genius of Alonso is under appreciated by the modern F1 fan. His execution of this overtake is next level. Car positions outside of the dirty air, energy deployment saved in the middle sector... etc. etc. All time great IMO.
Newey jumps on the radio:
"Well done Fernando, that was a great drive! Very disciplined and a great boost for everybody back at Silverstone. Thank you."
Alonso: "Yeah absolutely, thanks to you guys. Everyone in Silverstone, amazing. LOVELY CAR TO DRIVE and more to come I know."
Closing out our weekend on the coast.
A strong drive from Fernando sees him finish P9 and add two points to his tally. Lance was suffering with a handling issue, which we suspect could have been caused by picking up some car damage, and we had to retire the car.
