Alonso has no issues with his replacement. In fact, he’s delighted to play the part as long as the F1 industry continues to demonize them. I have no idea why, but both of us are perceived as rude, aggressive, and politically incorrect drivers.
Perhaps this similarity is what draws the furious rivals close to one another. The two have a great deal of respect for one another and are always on the other guy’s side. I believe Fernando should have won a lot more races than he has, Verstappen was overheard stating. He deserves a lot more, in my opinion.

Alonso had been gracious to the Dutch Lion in return, even going so far as to compare him to Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher. Five, six, or seven crowns are within his grasp.
The dynamic combo has established itself as an unstoppable force on the grid as their friendship flourishes further this season. Being the antagonist must have its advantages, as we have shared the podium in each of the first three races of the season.
