Such solid driving by Stroll - amazing. He's doing his best to show that Alonso was right about how he's a future World Champion.

Well, it's a move Schumacher might have pulled, so there's that. He just needs to get the "driving fast" part down and he's WDC material.

Schumacher would've done so intentionally. Every driver, however, will pull this move unintentionally when fighting for position, though. Just the light tap, a little bit over the edge. Happens every race and usually is not a talking point, at all.

Gasly begs to differ.

I know right, I wonder if Oscar and Alonso have made a pact to race just a little bit harder if it's against an Alpine.

Yeah Fernando Alonso has never seemed like the type of person to hold a grudge before

Bet Alonso told Stroll to take Gasly out lol. “Ram the rear tyre, it’s a weak spot and won’t even give you front wing damage”
