On Tuesday, there was an unexpected McLaren reunion which was initiated by the presence of Fernando Alonso. It soon became a proper reunion when the paddock was graced by Stoffel Vandoorne and Eric Boullier.

Alonso was even in the McLaren garage and met the new recruits, Lando Norris and Carlos Sainz Jr. Later, on social media, the Red Bull team tried to troll the Spanish veteran.
