Fernando Alonso wants talks with FIA president after nationality bias claim
Fernando Alonso ♏claims "nationa⛦lity matters" when it comes to stewarding decisions in F1.
168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso wants to talk with FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem after claiming Spanish F1 drivers are being treated differently.
The Aston Martin driver felt168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lewis Hamilton deserved a penalty for his aggressive dive down the inside of Turn 1 at the start of the sprint race, forcing Alonso wide and into his Aston Martin teammate168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Lance Stroll.
Stroll then collected McLaren’s 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lando Norris, who was forced to retire.
Alonso suggested Hamiltℱon escaped a penalty for ‘ruining’ people’s races “because he’s ꧟not Spanish”.
Norri꧋s also felt it was "obvious" that Hamilton was to blame for the collision.&nb🐼sp;
Explaining their decision to take no action, the stewards said: “From the video evidence, it appeared that there were at leas🍸t three collisions that occurred – the first between Cars 14 (Alonso) and 18 (Stroll) and then between Car 44 (Hamilton) and Car 14 and finally between Car 18 and Car 4 (Norris).
“While it appeared to us that the incidents began with 🏅Cars 14 and 18, the sudden and fast arrival of Car 44 contributed to the various collisions. However🔥, we were not able to identify one or more drivers wholly or predominantly to blame for the various collisions or any one of them.”
After qualifying for 🥃Sunda𓆏y’s grand prix in Maimi, Alonso appeared to stand by his earlier claim to broadcaster DAZN.
The two-time world champion said he “had to open the gap because Hamilton was coming from the inside without control of the car”, adding that ⛎"if I do that for sure I get the penalty.”
Alonso said he will seek out FIA president Ben Sulayem to make sure his fellow Spanish drivers are “pro🌄tected”.
“I do feel that nationality matters, and I ༺will speak with Mohamm🀅ed [Ben Sulayem], with the FIA, whatever,” he told reporters in Miami.
“I need to make sure there is not anything wrong with my nationality or anything that can influence any decision - not onlyღ for me but also for the future generation of the Spanish driv🌜ers. They need to be protected.”
Alonso’s press officer then stepped in to stop further questions on the ꧙subject.
The four-man stewarding ✤panel in Miami is represented by members from Singapore, Barbados, It🍷aly and America.
Alonso endured a dreadful day in Miami, finishing 17th in the sprint race after picking up a punctur🏅e in the clash with Stroll.
He was then eliminated in the 📖second part🗹 of qualifying and will start a lowly 15th for Sunday’s race.
