Fernando Alonso reveals that there are certain ‘lies’ that have been spread out about his career. He also revealed that he was shown ‘in shock’ after the 2012 Brazilian Grand Prix. Fernando Alonso was racing with Ferrari in 2012. There is an image of him where he was thought to be in shock. However, he has now cleared the air surrounding the famous image. Alonso says pictures proposing “the story was that I was in shock or sad” are inaccurate. He was in truth searching for his then Ferrari colleague Felipe Massa, who had completed third behind Alonso and race champ Jenson Button. The 38-year-old Spaniard said he had always been the target of many lies throughout his career.
“There are lies about my career that are not the truth,” said Alonso.
“I got out of my car and I was looking at Felipe, who for some reason could not stop crying. He was with his mechanics and wife, so I was standing there waiting for him, seeing if he was okay. The story was that I was in shock or sad – no, I didn’t care that much. I wanted to give Felipe a hug,” he concluded.
