Why Fernando Alonso is my favourite driver?

Because he manages to keep the car behind for 10 or more laps with maybe a slower car.

For the last 10 laps I am looking at the times between Alonso and Pastry, is so ... ''exciting''.

Certainly an intelligent driver. Backing up George Russell and Oscar Piastri so they clashed and helping him stay ahead. Would be good to see what he could do in a competitive car.

Suspect he did the same today with George Russell and Oscar Piastri
