Fernando Alonso Joins George Russell Special ‘Ferrari’ Celebrations in Austrian GP Aftermath

Following his miraculous win at the 2024 Austrian Grand Prix, George Russell is now a two-time Grand Prix race winner. This victory came at a very crucial stage in the ongoing season, and it was an exceptional win indeed. Hence, a moment like this calls for a special celebration. Many drivers and experts congratulated Russell for his achievement, including Lewis Hamilton, Lando Norris, and the veteran Fernando Alonso.

While most people congratulated Russell in his social media comment section, his partner Carmen Mundt shared a very endearing mirror selfie of them on her Instagram story. Her caption read: “That’s my winner.” Her winner indeed, the lovebirds are one of the most beloved pairs on the grid. Meanwhile, Russell’s dear friend Fernando Alonso also took to his social media to applaud the winner.

The two-time World Champion shares a good bond with George. They are often spotted spending time together. On his Instagram Story, Alonso shared a clip of what looked like the inside of a private jet. George Russell with the Cantine Ferrari Champagne bottle in his arms. Russell then asks everyone around him if he should get a new bottle from the back because the one he’s carrying is empty. The Briton is in a party mood. And Fernando Alonso is his partner-in-crime right now!

The Austrian Grand Prix turned out to be a boon to Mercedes, with their first win of the season they are very much back in the game. Meanwhile, Fernando Alonso’s performance continues to deteriorate with every race. How was Spielberg for the two teams?

The Austrian GP was nothing less than a thriller movie! Starting at P3, Russell went steady and strong in the race. On the other hand, veteran Fernando Alonso started at P15. Alonso struggled with his Aston Martin throughout the race and finished P18. Yet another disappointing end for the Spaniard. Meanwhile, the young Briton was on his way to get his second podium of 2024. Only a miracle could’ve gotten him to win the race. Well, the miracle did happen. Race leaders Max Verstappen and Lando Norris’ collision left the arena wide open for Russell to take over. And Russell didn’t let the opportunity go to waste. Ultimately winning his first race of the season. What a marvelous drive from George Russell!

As the celebrations continue in the Mercedes squad, George Russell must prepare for the British Grand Prix this weekend. A historical track as well as the home soil of the driver. Fans would want another win from the Silver Arrows. Meanwhile, Aston Martin’s degrading performance is posing concern among their fans. F1 is deep into the ongoing season and keeps getting more interesting than ever. With a victory in his pocket, Russell would surely aim for more.

What he does in Silverstone will be an exquisite sight. Supporters would love another ‘Yabadabadoo’ from George. What are your thoughts on George Russell’s win at the Austrian GP? Let us know your opinion.
