This is just Fernando doing Fernando things in the most Fernando way possible.

[trymetal]

this is gonna be remembered as one of the most impressive defensive drives in F1, that Alpine had no business keeping up a Merc for so long and yet Alonso made his car 6 meters wide and denied Lewis the pass like some sort of Spanish gandalf

[jimaras]

Im happy that alonso is getting his respect back after the hate and criticism on his return to f1

[Winchy]

Can't wait for this to be in every F1 montage for the next 30 years. Some of the best defensive driving I have ever seen

[msagoo]

Max tapped Alonso's shoulder during an interview after the race, and said to him "nice defence", Alonso said " I tried". I think the whole paddock was in awe of Fernando

[sklunkersklunkersson]

Are people even surprised at this? This is the same guy that held off a charging Schumi at Imola '05. Fernando's racing instinct has always been exceptional. True legend!

Glad younger fans starting see how great of a driver he is.

The way Alonso slows down in front of Hamilton in lap 63, just before the first DRS zone in order to force Hamilton to slow down aswell and to prevent the full use of his DRS was just brilliant !! So smart move from Alonso

[yaduvijayan]

Alonso had done this for almost a whole race with Schumacher trailing him in his ferrari, and he did that with a car with a broken engine. This is Alonso just getting warmed up.

[debstark]

In every corner... While on the perspective of Hamilton onboard, it looks like Hamilton overtook Alonso, but after the curve finishes Alonso just appears in front of Hamilton out of nowhere. It's just pure masterclass.

[Leooooooon_]

Absolute legendary battle between Lewis and Fernando. This will be marked in the history of F1.

[spark]

You know Alonso’s one of the best if he can hold off a superior car with an average car. What a fight!

[special]

Alonso knows Hamilton's position so well that it's like Alonso is driving in 3rd person view.

[llSuperSnivyll]

AWS: Hamilton will easily overtake Alonso on Lap 53
Alonso: "Aquí no hacemos eso"

[wdt]

1:34 was a masterclass. Apex on T1, deliberately late on throttle to force Hamilton to lift and abandon the switch back. What a move.

[victorabadg]

Sir Lewis Hamilton and Don Fernando Alonso.

[JagUriel]

Can't believe this was left out of DTS, what a CRIME, Alonso deserved to be showcased

[avohill]

“That’s how racing should be.” Well said, well driven. A memorable race in many ways.

[kouathalla]

I really enjoyed Nico Rosberg's commentary on this! He should do this more often!

Lewis Hamilton finished two seconds behind Esteban Ocon and one second behind Sebastian Vettel. in the last four laps, he was getting closer to them by two to three seconds per lap. Fernando Alonso held him up for TEN laps. do the math.
