F1 United States Grand Prix: Fernando Alonso recalls Red Bull’s titles - “they won by exploiting a grey area”
Alonso was a Ferrari driver in 2010 and 2012 when he lost out on the championship to Vett🍨el, who was with Red Bull.
A decade later Red Bull are in talks with the FIA over their punishment for a “minor” breach of the 2021 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 cost cap (the budget was $145m).
"This has always been part of F1,” Alonso said at the168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: F1 United States Grand Prix.
“This is a new thing we implemented recently, the cost cap, but there were always things aerodynamica൩lly that you could explore, some grey areas.
"And always people who won th꧅e championships, they won exploiting that grey area. And then the other teams copy and they eventually get to that level or they ban that thing that was allowed for one or tw🌠o races."
Alonso cited the Ferrari engine saga of 2019 - the Italian team came to a private settlement with the FIA over the legality of their machineryꦑ, before their performance dropped rapidly the following year.
"Ferrari won I think two races in 2019 with something we all knew was not legal a✃nd nothing ꩵhappened,” said Alonso who was absent from F1 in 2019.
“They kept those wins. It's quite amazing.
“Imagine that they won the championship in 2019 with that engine. It is very difficult and we need to rely on the people who have the power and trust t𒁃hem."
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen has called Red Bull’s rivals “hypocritical” for their views on the cost ⛄cap rowꩲ.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Valtteri Bottas, whose Mercedes teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lewis Hamilton lost the title to Verstappen last year at the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, was particularly vocal in his criticism.
