Alonso’s message of congratulations to Verstappen

Max Verstappen reaffirmed his title of Formula 1 champion last Sunday by prevailing comfortably in the Japanese Grand Prix. Since the numbers that gave him the crown for the second time have been confirmed, the celebrations and congratulations to the 25-year-old pilot have not stopped. One of the highlights is Fernando Alonsowith whom he maintained a wonderful harmony, for the Spaniard sent him a message wherein he desired luckier than him and where it was said hoping to fight the one from Red Bull in 2023.

The Asturian greeting was made via Twitter by Alpine with a very nice video. “Congratulations to Max and Red Bull. They have been doing a spectacular job this year. When you win the championship with four races to go, it means you did something different. So congratulations and welcome to the club“.

Because Alonso won the bi-championship in those years 2005 and 2006 ride of Renault, his path prevented him from being at the top again despite staying at the gates many times. Therefore, in addition to congratulating him, he asks Verstappen to “have more luck than I have“. It is not necessary to remember that Fernando stayed up to three times (2007, 2010 and 2012) with options to become champion in the last race.

Finally, the Alpine man also wanted to end his greeting with optimism about his future: “Hopefully next year you will have more competition and I will be among them“, he finished between laughs. Aston-Martinwhich will be the new ‘Nano’ team, therefore still very far from the top of the grid and such a big jump in quality is expected to be complicated.

It is noticeable that the two champions have a very good relationship and it is common to see them together in the paddock or speaking well of each other with the press. In addition, fate is very fickle and wants the same day that Verstappen is equal to Alonso in titles (2) do the same with number of wins (32). Figures are only available to a privileged few.
