Van der Garde bluntly on Fernando Alonso

Van der Garde bluntly on Fernando Alonso

Former Dutch driver Giedo Van der Garde è returned to the incident involving Fernando Alonso and George Russell on the penultimate lap of the Australian Grand Prix, not mincing words towards the Asturian driver. ""I understand, but here he really went too far – he pointed out in his podcast 'DRS: The Race Show'-. Alonso played dirty".

"You canò see how much slower he was going compared to the previous corner. Going on the brakes in the middle of the straight è really a thing not to do. I have a lot of respect for Alonso, but è really a stro**. So is Russell è but a little bit' less" recoiled Van der Garde.

Finally, he also had his say on the performance of the Mercedes, which has been disappointing so far: "Last year they were not doing so bad. They were still consistent, always in the points. This year è just bad, something has to start happening internally".
