#kinda want Alonso to win tomorrow even tho I’m a max girl

[super-max-verstappen]

Lance raced today with pins in his wrists, a broken toe, and still managed to get 8th. That’s just insanity. He was only 0.05s behind Alonso, a 2x world champion, and Alonso was in 5th, so that’s a super tight. He did amazing in the practice sessions as well, was outpacing Max, Charles, and Lewis at various points. His speed is on par with the top of the grid right now and I am so proud of him and of Aston Martin.

Alonso, too. Maybe the other teams were sandbagging in practice but he was giving Max a run for his money. Beating out both Mercs, in his first qualifying race with a new team… wow. We all knew he could pull it off if he had a good enough car, and I’m so excited that he finally does. Like he said, it does feel a bit unreal, but he deserves it. El Plan is unfolding nicely.

I am so excited to see them race tomorrow, hopefully the quali pace transfers over to a good race pace as well.
