Following his post-race interview, Red Bull’s Perez approached Alonso with a warm embrace, congratulating him and acknowledging the fair nature of their contest.
During the interview, Perez playfully squeezed Alonso’s shoulder from behind, prompting Alonso to turn and recognize his rival. The two then shared a heartfelt hug, acknowledging their camaraderie on the track. When asked if he was apologizing for the late pass, Alonso humorously replied, “Yes, Perez told me the fight was clean! He wished for more, but I reassured him, ‘I’m getting old, mate.'”
