Alonso hails McLaren victory as 'revenge' for 2010
Fernando Alonso has described McLaren's victory in Abu Dhabi as a "revenge" for the painful 2010 defeat to Ferrari, when Andrea Stella was his race engineer, according to Autosport.
Recall: Alonso was leading the championship in 2010 before the final race, but Ferrari's strategy left him behind Vitaly Petrov's Renault, ultimately handing the title to Sebastian Vettel. He describes the moment as "very painful" for him and Stella: "What Abu Dhabi took from us in 2010, today it's given back to Andrea."
Alonso has highlighted the team's remarkable transformation in the past 18 months, from struggling to make it to Q2 to winning the championship as a Mercedes customer. "They introduced an improvement update in Austria 2023 that gave them six or seven tenths of a second and from there they started to build the fastest car," he explained. Alonso also stressed that McLaren is a role model for other teams, such as Aston Martin.

The first auto race 1926 German Grand Prix, held at the AVUS track on July 11, 1926, in heavy rain, was won by native son, Rudolf Caracciola.
After the 1936 win of Bernd Rosemeyer and two more wins by "Carratsch", no other German driver would accomplish a German GP win until Michael Schumacher in 1995.
The 1926 race was marred by an accident involving driver Adolf Rosenberger, whose car crashed into one of the marshals' huts, killing three people.
The German Grand Prix would not return to the AVUS track until 1959.

This will be stuck in my head for a long time, because there is a high chance that Liam will suffer the same rake as Gasly and Albon (I read what they think about this and this is literally the first thought that comes to mind). Then let Helmut out, who said well done Yuki, he rode really well
