Fernando Alonso is the first and only Spanish driver to win the Spanish Grand Prix
Rewatching the last lap, I have to admire the fact that Fernando cheered and waved to the fans when still finishing his last race lap, what a legend
El Nano.
In a week we’ve had Vettel retiring, Latifi topping a session, Russell getting pole, Verstappen winning after spinning and Alonso going to Aston Martin. F1. Bloody hell.
Last Thursday afternoon, Fernando Alonso was asked if Sebastian Vettel announcing his retirement from Formula 1 would make his negotiations over a 2023 deal more difficult. His answer, with a smile, was “not for me”.
I’m so sad that you’re leaving, but at the same time excited for you and this new chapter of your life. You’ve been and still are such an important person to me and I’m thankful for our friendship.
