Alonso’s Shocking Reaction to Hamilton’s Near-Collision Stuns Fans at Mexico GP Practice

Title: Alonso’s Sarcastic Clap Turns into a Near-Collision with Hamilton at Mexico City GP!

In a dramatic twist during the second practice session for the Mexico City Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso’s sarcastic applause for rival Lewis Hamilton took a perilous turn as the two titans nearly collided on track. The tension was palpable as Alonso, trailing the Mercedes star, expressed his frustration with Hamilton’s driving in a way that only the fiery Spaniard could—through a round of sarcastic clapping.

As they approached a tight corner side-by-side, Alonso’s playful gesture quickly morphed into a desperate attempt to avoid disaster. He had to wrench his steering wheel to the left in a split second, narrowly dodging Hamilton and ensuring that his race weekend didn’t come to a disastrous halt before it even began. This nail-biting moment, however, seemed to fly under the radar of Race Control, as it went unpunished and was not referred for any further investigation.

Despite the close call, Alonso managed to secure the eighth fastest time of the session, clocking in at half a second behind the current pace-setter, Max Verstappen, who posted a blistering 1:17.392. This was a notable improvement for the Aston Martin driver, especially considering he was a full second off the lead during the first practice session.

Reflecting on his performance, Alonso stated, “I think the car felt better, for sure, in FP2 than FP1. We made some setup changes, so yeah, let’s try to explore more in that direction tonight.” His cautious optimism highlights the fine line between competitive spirit and the realities of racing, especially in a sport where every millisecond counts.

When pressed on Aston Martin’s progression, Alonso elaborated, “It was a combination of everything. We’ve been in the top five the last four Grands Prix on Fridays, but Saturdays tell a different story. We need to take the times with a grain of salt.” With the competition heating up, he acknowledged that many of the top drivers, including George Russell and newcomer Gabriel Bortoleto, were separated by a mere half second, raising questions about Aston Martin’s chances of making it into Q3 on Saturday.

“That would be great, but perhaps I’m being a bit too optimistic. We’ll aim for it,” Alonso concluded, leaving fans and pundits alike eagerly awaiting the next round of action.

As the Mexico City Grand Prix approaches, one thing is clear: the rivalry between Alonso and Hamilton continues to ignite sparks on and off the track, and fans can expect nothing less than a thrilling showdown as the stakes get higher. Stay tuned for more electrifying updates from the heart of Formula 1!
