Alonso and Sainz congratulated the Spanish National Team.

      After the finish in Spa, many drivers rushed to the screens to watch the final match of the World Cup, as there was enough time to get home before the broadcast started. Before the start, Fernando Alonso even joked that considering the team's form and the speed of his Aston Martin, he was looking forward to the evening football even more than the start of the race in Spa. He added that he and his friends were more concerned that England would be the opponent in the final. "We are happy with Argentina; it will be easier with them, although Lionel Messi is a huge problem," Fernando said on Sunday afternoon. After the final, Alonso and Carlos Sainz congratulated the team on their victory, and Argentina's representative Franco Colapinto posted on social media that he, along with the country, was mourning the defeat.
