Coincidentally, a few hours later it was discovered that one of the accidental victims of that misstep by Alonso was a former Australian tennis figure, Jelena Dokicwho reached world No. 4, has won six titles WTA and signed his best contest grand slam when he reached the semi-finals of the Wimbledon in 2000.
Dokic, as a spectator at the Albert Park track, was behind the fences at the corner where Alonso overbranded and the gravel hit his eye, requiring medical attention.
“When you go to the F1 weekend in Australian Grand Prix, a car goes off the track right in front of you and literally all the rock debris goes flying. Fernando Alonso left the track and gravel hit me in the right eye,” explained Dokic on his social networks.
“I had to get treatment, but everything is fine, just a bloodshot eye and a scratch. I will survive. Amazing and fast work of the doctors in the salon Mercedes Benz. Thanks to everyone who took care of me. i’m fine Ready to see more F1,” added the former tennis player.
