Fernando Alonso became a real hero during the days between United States Grand Prix and the one of Mexico. The Spaniard was authorized by 30s for unsafe driving Austin and seventh place was taken from him after Haas protested, nearly half an hour out of time, about the state of Alpine from Asturian.
The French did not understand this decision because it was not the only end of the car parts that were separated. Without walking further, Sergio Pérez lost part of the front wing, but received no punishment. So they responded with another protest and on Thursday the FIA reversed course and put him back in seventh place and the six points equal to Alonso. However, the decision to punish the two-time champion generated a huge controversy that, as usual, reached social networks, where hatred spread disproportionately.
One of the main focuses of reactions is Silvia Bellot, the FIA’s first female race steward. The harassment took on dimensions so extreme that Fernando himself had to be defended through his account. Instagram.
“I strongly condemn the recent abuse of networks received by FIA race commissioner Silvia Bellot.. This type of behavior is unacceptable both in sport and in society. Even more so when comments are directed at our sport’s volunteers and officials. I will continue to support the FIA and F1 in their efforts to move in the right direction.. I appeal to everyone to do the same”, he declared in a story.
In the press conference before the final decision, Fernando praised the work being done by FIA and ask for common sense. Fortunately for their interests, Alpine was right and everything ended as originally expected.
