Wooo...Alonso is quick

 

[andy_mk3]

Alonso pace vs Sainz is amazing.

 

[Kenai]

Did Ocon manage to retire the car without incurring another penalty?

 

[Tigget]

Cheating helps!

Like every team and driver has in F1 every year. Honestly just get over it or don’t watch. They were given a punishment etc, it is what it is now. The breach isn’t what has given this level of dominance, believing that is naive and petty.

De Vries radio - Why did we not double stack?

Pit - Ok, keep your head down now please. Focus on the job ahead.

 

[Kanpai]

Lets go Fernando!

 

[Junglist]

This Aston Martin is bonkers

 

[Emlyn_Dewar]

Now it isn't a fantastic race, but there's definitely been some great laps to watch with Alonso.
Just hope his tyres last! Podium!

41yo driving like a 25yo. Awesome!

 

[Stu999]

Go on Fernando lad

 

[Kanpai]

What we needed was Fernando in that second Red Bull seat

 

[Trusty]

great weekend for Aston if it stays like this

 

[Flibster]

Race control - Black and white flag for Hulkenberg - Track limits.

 

[pioneer2000]

Haven’t Aston simply copied Red Bull? Seems a bit naff that this can be a thing really.

Just goes to show the talent on the gird. Alonso is old guard. All these kids now are all silver spoon and the only reason they are on the grid.

F1 is the only sport on the planet that has a pool of its top tier just because they are rich. Take Latifi for example. He wouldn't even be a Sunday league player let alone premier League standing yet he raced at the pinnacle for years.

Did someone in here say they thought Alonso didn't have it in him?

I understand he gets hate because his dad owns the team, but he's actually a decent driver

Yes, thought it was a mistake bringing back a has-been. Delighted he's proved me wrong in spades over the last years.
