El Diablo congratulated by the Formula 1 paddock
As the battle for the world champion title rages in the Formula 1 universe, MotoGP, on this Sunday, October 24, 2021, saw its champion win the crown at the Emilia-Romagna Grand Prix in Misano, Italy. F1 did not hesitate to send its congratulations.
At the end of an intense and crucial season, the young Frenchman, Fabio Quartararo, was awarded the title of MotoGP World Champion.
The 22-year-old driver thus enters the history of France by becoming the first Frenchman in MotoGP history to win this famous title. The occasion is such that the world of Formula 1 did not hesitate to congratulate the driver.
As the F1 drivers were getting ready for their own race taking place in Austin.

It is on the social network Instagram that the drivers shared their joy for the World Champion with their million fans. Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon thus congratulated their compatriot for this feat. The Monegasque, Charles Leclerc, also shared a story in which he congratulated El Diablo for this incredible moment.
The French Alpine team also could not contain their joy and posted in their story: “Congratulations Champion!! From our paddock to yours. Thank you for this inspiration. The passion. The dream. A French MotoGP world champion! What a gift to wake up to this morning in Texas.”
However, Francophones were not the only ones to congratulate Fabio Quartararo. McLaren driver and neighbor of the reigning MotoGP champion, Daniel Ricciardo, also took his phone to congratulate the young Frenchman. Spanish driver, Carlos Sainz, also posted in his Instagram story: “Congratulations Champion!!”
As the MotoGP world now has its champion, Formula 1 is still awaiting its own. The wait is almost over, with only five Grand Prix races left on the schedule to determine the winner. However, the fierce battle between the seven-time world champion, Lewis Hamilton, and the surprising Max Verstappen, does not seem to have a potential winner yet. Fans should therefore stay on the edge of their seats until the end of the season to see a champion officially crowned.
