Will “strange” penalty make Fernando Alonso change his approach?
🌃Fernando Alonso's penalty for his aggressive defence against George Russell remains a hot topic.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso insists his “strange” penalty at the F1 Australian Grand Prix wil♑l not influe🐼nce the way he goes racing.
The Aston Martin driver was handed a 20-second post-race time penalty for driving in a “potentially dangerous” manner as he defended against Mercedes’168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: George Russell late on in Melbourne.
Taken by surprise at how quickly Alonso had slowed into Turn 6 on the penultimate lap of the race, Russell lost control of hi🃏s car and c﷽rashed out.
Despite the penalty,𒉰 Alonso stressed he is “clear” on the rules and will not💜 change his approach.
“It was the hardest penalty of the season in te🍰rms of time lap, which is strange, but the fact it got penalised [was the main issue],” the two-time world champion said.
“It was a little bit surpr🐠ising, the penalty in Melbourne. There is nothing we can do, we have to accept it and move on and ඣconcentrate on here.
“But I think it will not change much on how we drive and how we approach racing. There is no obligation to drive 57 laps in the same wa💜y. Sometimes we get a slower pace, to save fuel, to save tyres, to savꦑe battery.
“And ꦯsometimes we go slow into corners, or into some sectors of the track, to give the DRS to the car♕ behind because that will be a useful tool if the second car behind is at a faster pace.
“All those things are completely normal. And it was, it is and it will be forever in motorsports. So we had one penalty, probably a one-off, that we will never app﷽ly ever again.”
Alonso said he is “100%” sure that the outcome would have bee꧋n different if Russell hജad not crashed.
“If he was in Abu Dhabi with a run off area of asphalt or whatever, I think George will r💙ejoin t🦄he track a few metres after that and will try to have a go on me on the following lap, or the following straight. And it will not be any problem,” he added.
However, Russell believes failing to punish Alonso would have set a dangerous precedent and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:“opened a can of worms”.
