''It's a breath of fresh air seeing Alexa instead of Nina with Alex.''

Another one stated:

''Didn't know Alexa had this much personality''

''It's interesting how combat and racing are the two sports that you don't "play". You don't play fighting or play racing, it's as serious as life or death.''

''F1 is trying hard to push this stupid race crap on to the UFC fans now. 2nd year of F1 in Las Vegas is a nightmare for workers / locals / visitors and that they couldn't even fill the seats. Besides that BS, a great team up with Alex and Alexa.''
