Just getting into the sport but already rooting for Alonso, seems like a genuinely nice dude 👍

How the times have changed, he is traditionally known as "Dark Lord" Alonso. 🤣

He’s a troll, but in the most respectful and entertaining way, possible.

Hoping for rain, there could still be a slight chance of a podium!

It was wild to wake up to this news. So happy to have Alonso on the front row.
