Here are some of the fan reactions from Twitter.

One fan thinks Nicholas Latifi can venture into WWE after he exits F1 at the end of this year.

The Williams teammates will start the race on Sunday P17 and P18, with Albon leading his teammate. Despite finishing P19 and P20, the duo will start ahead of Kevin Magnussen and Lance Stroll.

Haas driver Magnussen will take a 5-place grid penalty for an Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) change, while Aston Martin’s Stroll will take a 3-place grid penalty for causing a collision with Fernando Alonso at the US Grand Prix.

Lewis Hamilton’s wrestling stint

Nicholas Latifi and Alex Albon aren’t the only Formula 1 drivers to have had an encounter with wrestling stars. The now 7-time world champion Lewis Hamilton already one-upped the Williams duo back in 2015. The then-defending champion wrestled Mistico, better known as Sin Cara in the WWE universe.

Hamilton stepped into the ring after his partner tagged him in. Lewis pulled off a smooth move after he bounced back from the ropes to body slam Sin Cara.
