#4 Putting all that experience into play at Baku, 2018
Azerbaijan always puts up a feast for any racing fan. It's usually, always an exciting contest.
Earlier this year, Baku produced a rather unexpected Grand Prix wherein at the back of a faltering Sebastian Vettel, the race leader who locked up under braking, one saw not one but three cars get into the battle for first, including, Valtteri Bottas, Lewis Hamilton, and Kimi Raikkonen.
But much before the chaos was unleashed, the McLaren of Fernando Alonso picked up a puncture in its rear wheel owing to an opening lap collision down at Turn 2 that saw Raikkonen and Ocon coming together inside the opening lap.
Most commentators agreed that the manner in which Fernando Alonso was able to retreat toward the pits so as to get a new wheel for his McLaren was a result of all that experience at having raced at the top-echelons of motor-racing.
Any other driver- it was regarded- may not have been able to restrict the damage control on that McLaren and come out anew with a fresher set of rubber to contest again. He was able to fight for a respectable seventh-place finish at the end.
Not so bad, right?
