This weekend’s race is Fernando Alonso’s last race in Formula One (at least from what it looks right now). He’ll leave the F1 paddock after 4 frustrating years at McLaren in trying to get back to winning ways, but it never happened. Not even a podium. But all said and done, his final race is a significant event in F1’s history, especially considering the fan following Fernando has and the influence he enjoys in the sport. Daniel Ricciardo, who himself will be bidding some sort of a farewell to his Red Bull team after 5 years with the team, decided to bid Fernando farewell, in his own funny way.
He posted a series of stories on Instagram, all for Fernando, that were really funny.

Its incredible how Ricciardo managade to find humour out of this. 2018 might not have been a very successful year for him, but he definitely won a lot of hears this year.
