Fernando Alonso was ‘wet’ and gave his opinion, clear and loud, about the controversial penalty against Verstappen in Qatar, which caused subsequent trouble to other people involved, George Russellwith a harsh exchange of accusations between the English and the Dutch.
The Asturian in Australia has already been hurt by the penalty in the accident suffered by George Russell when he was chasing Fernando. The Englishman left the track after the Oviedo driver and the FIA decided to punish the Spaniard. After that, after another incomprehensible and cruel punishment in Spanish, Fernando did not hesitate to complain and indicate that the nationality of the driver had an influence on the decisions of the stewards, making sure that he had to talk to president of the FIA, Ben Sulayem, to make sure that “there is nothing wrong with my nationality or anything that could influence any decision. And finally, he met in the paddock of Miami with Ben Sulayem.
And this time, Fernando Alonso reiterated the need for stewards’ decisions to be more consistent race after race and reiterated the possible problem of nationality.
“I’m just saying that when they apply the penalty rule to someone, why don’t we follow that path, but in the next race it doesn’t apply again,” he commented before the F1 microphones at the F1 Abu Dhabi GP , the last appointment of the year.
“Many times it depends on the nationality you have. If this happened to me, I probably wouldn’t have the same benefit as George Russell. Or maybe, my accident in Australia, without contact and 30 meters from me, that someone came. out of the way (George, when I was riding behind him) and the sanction falls on me… Sometimes you think if you changed your seat and became another driver, would I be treated the same way?”, concluded the Spaniard, without mincing words and being defensive in stable, ongoing fair decisions.
