I used to be a hater of Alonso. He beat my boy MSC in a awesome 2006 season.
Then in 2007 I became a fan of Hamilton, and tbh I thought Alonso was better that season, I loved it when Mclaren were obviously favoring Hamilton. My hating on Alonso continued till about 2015, (even when I disliked him, I still thought he was probably the best driver even better than Hamitlon because of how consistant he was).
But around that time I started to put my hate aside and thought damn he is actually really good, and noticed the british media would always paint him in a negative light.
That despite having inferior machinery he would still push and dominate his team mates.
Now I look at him as someone who should have 5 plus championships and a lot more race wins.

Now I just want him in a car that can compete for podiums and wins, because despite his age, these new fans have no idea what a racing and point scoring machine he is. IMO if he was in this years Mclaren he would be a lot closer to Max in points than what Norris is.

Im no fanboy, but i have to respect his talent. With his drive and motivation I am sure he can keep this level up, especially for 2026

It's great to read those things from a Hamilton fan. Alonso was better than Hamilton in 2007, and the team favoured Hamilton. I agree.

And agree again that he should have 5 wdcs, at least. What an unlucky driver he's been. He deserves a little luck for next couple years.

He said his Q2 lap was out of logic, and that Williams is much faster and it won't be easy to finish ahead of them. He has the hope of AM straight speed to be able to defend his position.

We must cheer all night long that is Newey arrived and Cowell is here too, they still make comparisons between old and new only, if only once they had clear ideas

He was actually suprised that he could make Q3 and that grip came from nowhere which is strange. He was still able to improve by almost 3 tenths in Q3 compared to his Q2 time despite not having a draft. If he had a tiny draft he would of beaten Hamilton.

Normally this season I am not that optimistic, but at this track anything can happen, especially with safety cars

What an amazing job Alonso is doing..he managed the tires throughout the stint knowing he has to defend Albon for 8th.Didn’t even bother to chase 7th.

Great race knowing that Albon had mediums at the end + extra points that we take from Sainz and Perez

Stroll said that Tsunoda closed the door but Tsunda was ahead of him after the corner… any expert feedback on that ?

100% Stroll fault on that one… He did not even have a wheel next to him on braking…
Team Fernando!
