Alonso Prioritizes World Cup Over Belgian GP

Fernando Alonso, a two-time champion, expressed that his main concern heading into the Belgian Grand Prix is returning home in time to watch Spain's World Cup final match. Despite the race taking place at the Spa-Francorchamps circuit, Alonso anticipates a challenging weekend due to Aston Martin's current performance issues. The timing of Sunday's race, which starts six hours before the World Cup final, means Alonso will likely only catch the second half of the highly anticipated game.

Alpine's Argentine driver, Franco Colapinto, echoed Alonso's sentiments, stating he will be more anxious about the World Cup final than the Grand Prix. Colapinto, who was seen in his national team's jersey, shared the emotions of Argentina's semifinal victory. Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time world champion, also commented on the recent loss, expressing pride in England's performance despite the disappointing outcome.
