F1 | Alonso angers the FIA: “They tell us how we should drive a racing car”

He is very angry Fernando Alonso is preferably used for penalty inflicted on him at the end of Australian Grand Prix following the accident George Russel, who was fooled by the early braking of the Spanish champion, and for this reason he crashed. Indeed the pilot of theAston Martin he changes the way he interprets the curve at that point compared to before, but he does it because he wants to defend himself, and to be honest it didn't seem like such a dangerous maneuver. For this reason, relying on his social channels, Fernando wanted to have his say: the two-time world champion appeared very harsh and does not willingly accept the team's decision FIA and sports commissioners.

"I'm surprised - Alonso said. It's about how we as drivers should take corners or drive a race car. At no point do we want to do anything wrong at these speeds: I believe that without the gravel at that point of the track, at any other corner in the world we would never have even been investigated. I have been in Formula 1 for more than 20 years, I have had epic duels like those in Imola in 2005 and 2006, or in Brazil 2023, and changing the race line, sacrificing speed at corner entry to have a better exit is part of the art of motorsport. We never drive at 100% in every lap of every race and in every corner, but rather we save fuel, tyres, brakes, so to be responsible for not making every lap the same as the next is a bit surprising."
