Fernando Alonso grabbing P3 after a closely fought battle with Carlos Sainz came as pleasant news but not as a surprise. That is because the build-up to the race day made it clear that Aston Martin was no longer a team that was gunning for excelling just in the midfield. The result, however, puts Mercedes in a tough spot. As is the norm in F1, teams that purchase parts and PUs from other teams tend to be slower than the suppliers. Alonso and Lance Stroll broke that norm on Sunday as the Spaniard beat Lewis Hamilton and the Canadian beat George Russell, fair and square. Before the race, we saw Aston Martin owner Lawrence Stroll and Mercedes boss Toto Wolff share a laugh together. As fans now recall the moment, they can’t help but come up with some wild theories.
Despite excelling in qualification, Alonso and Stroll did not have the best start to the race. Lance ran into the back of his teammate, resulting in them both losing a couple of positions. However, what happened after that was nothing short of a story worth a million dollars. Not only did Fernando beat his rival of the yesteryear, Lewis Hamilton, but also overtook his Spanish counterpart, Carlos Sainz, to register a podium finish.

Some fans believed that Wolff should have followed Lawrence’s approach in hiring. The Canadian tycoon brought Red Bull’s former chief of Aerodynamics, Dan Fallows, on his team. The results have just begun to show themselves through the performances on the track.
Honestly Toto should have never let those engineers go in 2021. The young engineers he said he has faith in are failing dismally. Lawrence recruited aggressively. https://t.co/FbT42QJ17N

Lawrence hired aggressively and Toto let a big bunch of his people go to Red Bull.
That’s just careless. https://t.co/efE6GkGKfn

One fan cracked the running joke in F1 quarters that anyone who even remotely favors or praises Lawrence or his son Lance is paid by him.
