It’s not about what one is chasing, it’s about what one has left behind during the chase. Max Verstappen and tennis world no.1 Carlos Alcaraz have come out supporting Fernando Alonso in his decade-long endeavor. As the “El Plan” takes shape, the Spaniard pursues a trend that’s been going around social media.

Fernando Alonso last won a Grand Prix back in 2013. Since then he’s stuck on 32 race wins. However, for the first time in over a decade, Alonso has a car capable of winning races. The Spaniard has already bagged 2 podiums in 2 races and is looking for a win now. Fans are all excited for Alonso’s 33rd win as “Como 33” positioned itself as the No.1 Twitter trend in Spain. 

Alonso was believed to race with the 33 number this year. But the number is reserved for the driver who previously used it for two years, in this case, Max Verstappen. Therefore, Alonso stuck with No. 14. Alonso’s El plan to win his 33rd race and then a championship can be seen all over his social media now.

In a recent tweet posted by Autosport, Verstappen was asked about Alonso asking for number 33 to which the Dutch replied “It’s a good number”. According to the tweet Fernando said “He’s still using number 1, I will ask for 33 next year.” Alonso further added, “Hopefully we can reach the number [33] in terms of wins and then we can go for 34!”

Verstappen has shown respect towards Alonso, mentioning the fact that the Spaniard deserves a lot more. The Dutchman would be more than happy to see Alonso win his 33rd race and he wishes for even more to come to him. The two-time world champion also recently received support from a tennis star regarding his 33rd win. 

Carlos Alcaraz is waiting for the 33rd win of Fernando Alonso

Carlos Alcaraz is a huge fan of Formula 1 and Fernando Alonso. After his Ninth straight win and the Miami Open, the World No.1 hyped up Alonso’s upcoming 33rd win. After beating Tommy Paul, Alcaraz during the post-match camera lens sign-off wrote: “33 soon”. While it did not make much sense, then he later posted a video of it tagging Alonso in it. 

Fernando Alonso was quick to respond to this message, sharing the video on his Instagram with the caption “A phenomenon” and tagging Carlos Alcaraz. With the F1 paddock and even stars from other sports hyping up Alonso, the 33rd win doesn’t look that far away now.
