“Who Is He. He Is Not Alonso”: Fernando Breaks Anti Hero Image With Heartwarming Gesture Towards Lance Stroll to Leave Fans Rubbing Their Eyes

The nature of Formula 1 doesn’t allow drivers to make friends on the grid, especially in the same garage. One best example to prove that is the conduct of Fernando Alonso throughout the years toward his teammates. The Spaniard is considered one of the most difficult teammates to work with and even earned the unofficial title of F1’s anti-hero. Most predicted this narrative to follow the Spaniard with his new team as well. However, with the Azerbaijan GP serving as proof, the Spaniard has changed and the fans are left rubbing their eyes in disbelief.

During the second race of the weekend, the Spaniard got on his radio to communicate a vital message, as revealed by Formularacers on Twitter.  “Tell Lance my brake balance suggestion, as I am now.” Said Alonso and added, “I think it might help.”

This uncharacteristically helpful message from Alonso for his teammate Lance Stroll has the jaws of the fans on the floor.

All suggestions and narratives of the civil war between the two have gathered steam and then ridiculed instantly. In fact, there have been suggestions of a civil war between Alonso and the owner Lawrence Stroll as well.

However, as of the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, there are no signs of any tensions within the Aston Martin garage. Quite the opposite, actually, as the team is producing surprising moments on and off the track.

Fans are left wide-eyed as Fernando Alonso makes the wholesome gesture toward Lance Stroll
