‘Flower padre’ Fernando Alonso brushes off Monaco Grand Prix nerves by watering plants

Just weeks ago the Aston Martin was caught sniffing flowers and now appears to be playing into the viral moment at any opportunity, branding himself as the ‘flower padre’.

Alonso will start second behind Max Verstappen at today’s race (28 May), after losing out on Pole by 0.084s.
