Alonso still has plenty of eyes on him

Daniil Kvyat was still centre stage as he participated in his home race during the past weekend, but he wasn't the only one getting attention. Fernando Alonso still has plenty of eyes on him as he deals with the dodgy McLaren and prepares for his outing to America. There are points this week for all of the above, but also for having some fashion sense, for heading to the nightclub, and, as always, for cake!

F1 heads back to Europe now, so look for teams and drivers taking a break, and perhaps showing up at the factory. Let me know if you spot anything pointsworthy, there's still plenty to play for this season!

Movements for Week 7

  • +1 Lewis Hamilton: Taking inspiration from the totally inspirational Serena Williams.
  • +2 Kimi Räikkönen: Let's be honest, we'd all like to see Kimi picking up the karaoke microphone, wouldn't we?
  • +3 Fernando Alonso: Calling out Ted Kravitz during an interview and suggesting he shouldn't have to clarify a rumour that the media started.
  • +1 Sebastian Vettel: Vettel, the closet Bangles fan.
  • +1 Daniel Ricciardo: Finding the positives in the season despite a difficult car. "Looks good," he says.
  • +2 Lance Stroll: Cute story from Ted about Lance not knowing what to do after finally managing to finish a race.
  • +1 Lewis Hamilton: For potentially wearing the only sensible outfit at the Met Gala 2017.
  • +2 Daniel Ricciardo: Love this post-race video suggesting he's in the nightclub in his race suit, and a quick chat with the race winner.
  • +1 Daniel Ricciardo: Quick street demo in Budapest with Bottas.
  • +1 Valtteri Bottas: Quick street demo in Budapest with Ricciardo.
  • +1 Fernando Alonso: Making Zak carry his bags on the way to Indy.
  • +2 Daniil Kvyat: Cake! (With a bonus point for looking terrified of it!)
  • +1 Daniil Kvyat: Embracing being called a torpedo by Vettel last year.
