Alonso’s viral ‘trolling’ of Russell for the Jeddah podium

The FIA’s massive mess with the podium, no podium and finally a podium for Fernando Alonso in Saudi Arabia has gone too far. Also for a funny joke from the Asturian pilot to George Russell on the networks.

George Russell benefited after the race from a 10-second penalty for Fernando which was eventually overturned by the FIA, putting the Asturian back on the podium a few hours later. In fact, Russell himself starred in a great gesture with Fernando when the FIA ​​first announced that the podium was for Russell due to the Spanish sanction. George interrupted an interview with Alonso on ‘DAZN F1’ to hug Fernando and tell him he was sorry. “Sorry, man. You had it coming,” he told him. George is clear that Alonso deservedly got the podium on the track.

});

Therefore, before the FIA ​​eventually returned the podium to Alonso, with Russell still in third position, the Briton published a tweet celebrating that drawer position. “Fernando and Aston Martin deserve to be on the podium today, but I’m very happy to collect our first trophy of the season and very proud of the hard work the team is doing. Let’s keep pushing,” he commented.

George did not delete that tweet after the FIA ​​overturned Alonso’s 10-second penalty and returned the podium to the Spaniard. And Fernando took advantage of this to jokingly ‘troll’ the British with a funny photo looking up, over his glasses, and greeted George with “hello” and some angel emoticons and returned the trophy to its showcases. In this way, Fernando jokingly got George to return the trophy that was his.
