“NOBODY EXPECTED THAT FOR SURE’’

“if there’s one thing last week taught me is to not set any expectations, and my friends, i did not see this coming’’

“I didn’t see this coming, surely this means Piastri at Alpine. but now the big question is where does Mick go?’’

“Wow, what a move, we need an icon and it’s Alonso. Aston you made my day, Great signing, i am over the moon’’

“@farishasays remember I said I want Daniel to go AM? Now AM is full already 😆 and I didn’t expect Alonso to take this seat’’

“...on a "Multi-Year-Contract" which makes sense for a young-driver. But DAMN!’’

“Alonso was so done with Ocons sh*t he took the second worst signing in his career #F1’’

“Multi year contract? This guy will still be racing when he’s in his 70s 😂’’

“Sorry, no disrespect intended, but I’m wondering why he’d leave Alpine to join a less competitive team?’’
