Only Fernando Alonso Could Get This Car Back to the Pits!

He might have suffered TWO punctured tyres during the 2018 Azerbaijan Grand Prix, but that didn't stop Fernando Alonso from dragging his McLaren back to the pits... and an eventual finishing position of P7!

The fact that he finished p7 later in that race is incredible. Goat Nando

I love the way he still hits the pit markers... he's a legend

[GXVoid]

having the ability to drive that car back in that condition in your rookie season is outstanding

Fernando deserved more in F1. The stats doesn't show the full picture.

I watched that race live and to see him get that car back to the pits is one of the most skilful things I’ve ever seen anyone do in an F1 car, bravo

Most drivers drive the car until the wheels fall off, but clearly Fernando can drive the car even after the wheels have fallen off!!! 😂

Box: Necesitas algo Alonso?
Alonso: Gasolina ⛽ 🔥!

What amazing is how few people realize the difficulty of keeping that tire on the rim.

[roelfrizzle]

To think he did a similar thing in Austin after he flew in the air when Stroll hit him. And also just continued 🤯 drive it till the wheels fall off 😂

Hamilton: I won a race with 3 wheels.
Alonso : I made it in the pit with 2 kid.

[ishqiahmed]

Imagine being in the pits n just seeing this drive by😭

One of his best races and one of the best performances Ive ever seen.

[jamesmayes]

The fact that he could bring a heavily damaged car that was on 2 wheels and ON FIRE back to the pits and then go on to score points will never fail to amaze me. Most drivers would have parked it but Fernando is so tenacious, one of many reasons why he is my favourite driver

[arris-hlvs]

Fernando es talento puro.... insaciable... siempre quiere más....nunca se rinde

[Mgoblagulkablong]

THIS was the race that confirmed to me that Alonso is the GOAT. No one else would have gotten this result after this accident.

[bullymaguire]

Sometimes things like this show who is actually a GOATED racer by spirit and skill .

What impressed me more than his driving that shitbox was his intent, he just didn't give up
Anyone else would've left that car at that point
He stuck on and eventually finished p7 after multiple dnf
