#3 Fernando Alonso's cool and collective limp back into the pits- Baku
Could there be another driver who'd draw praise and respect for not winning a race but actually parking his car safely into the pits for a quick wheel change other than Fernando Alonso?

While the race at Baku was more about the safety car deployment at regular intervals of the Grand Prix and one that was a bit unsettled thanks to constant action at different parts of the grid, the race was something different altogether for McLaren's Fernando Alonso.
Right at the start, for no fault of his own, the Spanish Samurai stepped onto the sprinkled debris on the track that emanated from the opening lap contact between Kimi's Ferrari and Force India Racing Point's Esteban Ocon.
As a result, Alonso, sustaining a rear wheel puncture would jump into the pits and re-emerge afresh for the contest, but not before having swiftly manoeuvred the limping McLaren into the pits, something that not many contemporary drivers would've managed.
Experience, after all, always matters, doesn't it?
