168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso has playfully joked that he could get “disqualified for the rest of the championship” for his defensive tactics at end of the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.

The Aston Martin claimed a strong sixth place in Japan but had to fight to keep McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Oscar Piastri and Mercedes’ 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell behind him in the closing stages ജof Sunday’s race.

Similar to the tactics used by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz in Singapore last year, Alonso ensured Piastri stayed wit🌃hin DRS range to protect himself from a charging Russell.

While Russell was able to get past Piastri, he ultimately ꧂ran out of laps to challenge Alonso and had to settle with s൲eventh.

It came a fortnight after Alonso received a 20-secon♚d penalty for “potentially dang𝓰erous driving” in his bid to keep Russell behind him in Australia.

And the two-time 🔜world champion couldn’t help himself from cheekily poking some fun at the FIA.

"I don't know what ꩲto say anymore after Australia, let's see if I get disqualified for the rest of the championship,” Alonso told Spanish television channel DAZN.

“It's clea🌜r that having Piastri behind, it was a way to defend myself from Russell, so I was probably taking a bit of battery off on the last straight to get Piastri within a second.

“Carlos di🦩d it like that in Singapore last year too, and it's a normal racing thing.”

Asked if he was aware of the DRS tricks being played by Alo♒nso, Russell laughed and told Sky Sports F1: “Of course.

“Fernando playing g꧂ames? That’s new!  It was smart from Fernando and I expected nothing less, that’s part of racing.”

Alonso felt he produced one of his best൩ ever performances over the Suzuka weekend.

“I think it was on🅘e of my best races or my best weekendꦺs,” Alonso told Sky Sports F1. “I think it was very complete and very strong, very solid.

“Since free practice, to the race, maybe the best of the last year or maybe even top five of my carಞeer. But this is going 📖to be completely anonymous.”
