Alonso and Hamilton’s ‘Rajada’ responded

Lewis Hamilton caused many accidents to start of the F1 2024 Miami GP sprint race this Saturday when he got too optimistic inside turn 1. The Englishman had to take risks after his poor ‘shootout’ qualifying, starting a long, long way, 12th on the grid for the weekend’s short event. And he over braked. The result was a blow to Alonso, who in turn grabbed his teammate Stroll, and in turn sent Norris off due to the inertia of that blow.

What’s more, before Hamilton’s touch, Stroll hit Alonso because the Spaniard was no longer open when he saw Lewis coming inside “like a bull”, as the Spaniard himself said on the radio.

Hamilton, without sanction

The most remarkable thing is to see that during the sprint race, the administrators in charge of judging this action did not even decide to open an investigation. Hamilton’s many touches ended up causing the Englishman to leave and he was only penalized with a ‘Drive Through’ for exceeding the pit lane speed limit, but there was no sign of a penalty and the loss of points on the Englishman’s license for an unfortunate one. exit

Alonso’s words: “Because he’s not Spanish”

Therefore, after Hamilton was not sanctioned, Alonso, who had already complained about receiving the biggest penalty of the entire grid in the sprint event in China and in Australia, made it clear that the race management has no equivalent criteria to judge the all pilots, the man from Oviedo did not bite his tongue and directly pointed to the nationality of the pilot in question as a possible reason for the lack of action against him.

“Let’s see what they will decide. I guess they don’t have a decision because it’s not Spanish. But hey, I guess it ruined some people’s careers. From Norris, most of all, who had a very fast car and was left behind in that incident,” argued with DAZN.

“And for us, we also have no interest in the sprint race. We were just going to check the degradation and things for tomorrow and we achieved it. For us it’s like free practice, not a race. So now The The important thing begins: the time trial and tomorrow 57 laps I think we can draw some conclusions for the parc ferme, which opens today, and see if we can improve the car,” he added.

And he’s back on the attack: “Today was not penalized so today was the same, we were behind Ocon and I could have taken a risk and overtake him, but logically I did not risk to avoid being penalized. I was trying to complete the race.19 laps and went back to the team to discuss the changes,” he said with a nice irony, remembering that he was always punished by them and not the others.

Norris also complained

But he wasn’t the only pilot to complain. Lando Norris also pointed this out: “There’s nothing I can do. It’s a shame. The car was nice all weekend and it’s a shame, but someone else did something careless and didn’t get paid.”

Hamilton replied

“In the first corner I was on the inside and I think they went a little too far and they bumped into each other and went back to the inside. I think that’s what happened.”argued with Lewis Hamilton for his part, making it clear that the Aston Martins had fallen on their own and dared to attack Kevin Magnussen after an aggressive defense by the Dane for 8th place: “Kevin is always in trouble. He has his own style. Became happy. It goes beyond the limits sometimes. I think I was trying to delay myself so the other Haas could score. “A bit aggressive.”
