Aston Martin has created a monster. Both of their drivers felt so fast and confident in the cars.

Edit: 7.9k likes???!!!! Wow you guys are crazy. Also I am a McLaren fan and and I am so sad after this performance. I hope they get better after this race. Also Stroll is a decent driver guys I don’t think he deserves this much hate. Lets hope Aston Martin keep delivering performances like these and finish in top 4 in the constructors.

Alonso single-handedly entertaining us with his experience and finesse

That overtake on hamilton at turn 10 was a work of art. Overtake of the season already

From Schumacher era to Verstappen era, Alonso still amazes us! Legend

[Bilnation]

Hearing Alonso say “what a lovely car to drive” put a smile on my face.

[MrOiram]

Fernando, the last driver on the grid that drove and won a championship in the V10 era showing everyone how to brawl, truly a magnificent performance for him today!

[dshow]

Seeing Alonso actually battling with top teams warms me to my core.

[MrTheGogi]

We were all expecting the first line to be:
“And it’s lights out and away we go!”

[SC_]

Alonso vs Hamilton didn’t disappoint. What a performance!

[GaryLaaks]

So exciting to see a new chalenger. This guy is still as fast as he was 100 years ago.

[RuohongZhao]

That overtake on Turn 10 between Alonso and Hamilton is so great and so old school, no DRS pure talent.

[AugmentedGravity]

Watching Alonso was just pure magic. What a race

[tylerdurden]

The fact that we can see Alonso and Hamilton fighting at eye level again makes me really happy

[ladariushill]

Watching Alonso behind adequate machinery gave me chills, love fernando!

[toptanupat]

Otmar : "We'll make Fernando regret his choice"
Alonso : "I don't think so"

[iplayeddsharpminor]

I am an Alonso fan and borderline cried when he was on the podium… but is nobody going to talk about the most insane commentators curse of all time?! If that’s not proof Leclerc isn’t cursed I don’t know what is. Really do feel for the guy

[ericantonpaterna]

That move from Fernando in turn 10 is pure class

[karlos]

Alonso 41 years young still going strong ✌ what a performance today again! Old master!

[mintberrycrunch]

That was a masterclass from Alonso. Every time he got in a battle, he made it look so easy. Very excited to watch him race this year.

Fernando Alonso is the definition of not giving up! Only his second podium in nearly 10 seasons, you can only imagine the frustration of having immense talent but never the hardware to allow you to properly compete... hard to think of anyone more deserving of this stellar AM car! Let's hope they keep the pace up for the rest of the season 👏
