Alonso jokes: 'If I won I wouldn't have got off the track'
General
Fernando Alonso is once again on the podium. At the end, the Spaniard briefly looked for a win, but he had a special reason for not passing Verstappen.
"It was a very intense race, obviously in the wet conditions, we were fast," Alonso said after the race. "We stopped maybe one lap too late but the car was flying today. In these conditions, you need a car you can trust and I did trust the car today."
Attempted victory after restart
The weather was very changeable. In the end, a good amount of rain fell. Alonso briefly looked to go for the win, but he was unable to do so. He joked: "I did think about trying to move in the last restart, but not sure I'd make it [out of the circuit]."
