Such a great deal of respect between Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso 🤝 Alonso Verstappen F1 Formula1
The ‘lovely moment’ between Max Verstappen and Alonso not picked up by camerasFormula 1 presenter Tom Clarkson revealed there was a “lovely moment” of “genuine respect” between Max Verstappen and Fernando Alonso that went uncaptured by cameras after a gruelling qualfying session in Monaco on Saturday.
It was clear that the two had expended every ounce of energy in trying to get every bit of lap time they could in the most important qualifying session of the season, given how critical track position is in Monaco, and the mutual respect between the two was clear to see after the session. “So they’ve only been out of the cars, say, five minutes, they have a quick chat on the grid. Then they come to the press conference and Fernando came in first, and he sat down in his chair and he sort of was slumped a little bit – and you could see he was just, I think, reflecting on what he had just done.
“As I say, no words were exchanged, but just genuine respect about what they had just done over one lap of Monaco – and I would say I haven’t seen two better laps of that track in 25 years than what we saw from Alonso and Verstappen in qualifying.
“Being able to go such a high limit and extract everything there, you’ve just witnessed a beautiful moment. That’s why we love sports so much.”
