Alonso helps UNICEF in the fight against the coronavirus
Fernando Alonso was always known in Formula 1 as the man with a big mouth, but outside the car Fernando also has a huge heart. He invests a lot in go-karting youth in Spain, but also gives a lot to charity. As an ambassador of UNICEF, the two-time Formula 1 world champion now gives some extra and his contribution alone provides 300,000 mouthpieces.
Gracias a vosotros por la labor incansable que hacéis siempre, como en este momento delicado.

Alfa Romeo knows the solution during the coronavirus: #garagetime
Now that the coronavirus is spreading all over the world, the streets are deserted and everyone has to stay inside as much as possible. This also applies to Formula 1 and Alfa Romeo has developed the new name for it. Whether the hashtag trending will be we have to wait and see, but for F1 at least it is #garagetime.
To be quick tomorrow, we must take it slow today. #StayAtHome pic.twitter.com/KVDt9AJiSl

Formula 1 back in time with singing Alonso
Fernando Alonso has been known in recent years as a great talent with too big a mouth and wrong career choices, but there was a time when the Spaniard was the big man in F1. In 2005 Fernando could be heard singing over the onboard radio. A moment he, but also Renault, will not soon forget.
A day @alo_oficial and @RenaultF1Team will never forget! #F1 pic.twitter.com/hrVvfJVUTU

Stroll 'satisfies' with ten world titles
Lance Stroll is not listed as the greatest talent in Formula 1 and seems to be mainly present in F1 as the son of billionaire and owner of Racing Point: Lawrence Stroll. However, Lance himself has the greatest ambitions. In a new video he says, of course with a sarcastic undertone, that he will settle for ten world titles.
"It's just you, the road and the machine - and endless craft that us drivers are trying to master"

Hamilton supports, but also gets a lot of support
Lewis Hamilton was the first to speak openly in Australia about the bizarre situation of Formula 1. Where the whole world was stopped by the coronavirus, F1 went on. Even now Lewis is still very concerned about all the people at home and he is also busy staying strong himself.
I hope you are all safe at home with your families or somewhere you feel safe. I am taking this time to work on myself, physically but emotionally too. I think of you all out there and want you to know I am grateful for your support and love. Sending you positivity from afar pic.twitter.com/V4RTr0WOh4
