Fernando Alonso savagely wags his finger at Yuki Tsunoda after overtaking him at Austrian GP

Fernando Alonso produced a classic moment as he overtook AlphaTauri driver Yuki Tsunoda at the Red Bull ring. 

Alonso’s Austrian GP did not go off to a particularly positive start. The two-time World Champion had to start his race from the back of the grid, after he changed components of his power-unit and took a penalty.

The race itself however, saw the Spaniard at his vintage best. He drove particularly well and was within a shot at a points finish for the vast majority of the outing.

However, he produced an iconic moment on track when he savagely wagged his finger at Tsunoda on the straights. The Japanese driver tried to squeeze Alonso, and the latter briefly went on the grass to avoid making contact.

Alonso, who was pretty annoyed with how Tsunoda was driving immediately stepped up and overtook him. While doing so, he looked to his left, and wagged his finer towards the Red Bull junior under braking.
