Talk about control! Well, Alonso made it look easy, as he has been in Formula 1 for about two decades. However, the Spaniard is not happy with his team for the strategy they opted for today’s race. Things have not been smooth sailing for him as he started P19 after an electrical issue. This meant that he could not compete in yesterday’s sprint race.
Fans, meanwhile, loved the way Alonso waved his finger in the middle of a race. They expressed their views on Twitter about the Spaniard’s stunning reaction directed at Tsunoda.
