Fernando Alonso did not miss the opportunity to show off his madridismo. The Asturian driver, who will start seventh to compete in the Monaco Grand Prix, appeared in the paddock of the Monte Carlo circuit dressed in the Real Madrid first kit to ‘celebrate’ the Whites’ achievement of the Fourteenth European Cup.
The Spaniard is a recognized fan of Real Madrid and he walked through the streets of the Principality a few hours before the start of one of the most special Grand Prix on the calendar. A ‘few’ kilometers from Paris, Fernando could not see the final ‘in situ’ as Rafa Nadal did, among others, who is in the French capital playing Roland Garros.
The pilot arrived in white and then put on the official Alpine kit. Since last night, on his social networks, Fernando has celebrated Real Madrid’s victory with several stories on Instagram with photos of the white squad lifting the Champions League and also sharing the number of his car, 14, which coincides with the number of Champions League who has his favorite team in his record.
The rain could give Fernando Alonso a golden opportunity in this Monaco Grand Prix. The Spaniard will start in seventh place between both Mercedes. Go ahead, Russell. Behind, Lewis Hamilton. Pole went to Charles Leclerc, who ‘plays at home’, followed by Carlos Sainz and the two Red Bulls, Checo Pérez and Max Verstappen. “Starting seventh and in the rain, anything can happen, from finishing on the podium to not finishing the race, because you do aquaplaning in a corner and you go against the guardrail and it’s over. Or you can get a podium because the others make mistakes. If not it rains, it is much easier to run the race, because you finish seventh or eighth at most. In the dry there are strong people, very competitive, Norris is fifth, Russell is sixth and Hamilton is eighth, “he acknowledged in response to AS. Like the whites, he will have to take advantage of his opportunity and work for a comeback.
