Another sparks between Fernando Alonso and George Russell
After the accident in Melbourne of George Russell, who according to the track officials was provoked by Fernando Alonso, consequently penalized by 20 seconds, in Suzuka there’è was a new controversy between the two at the end of the Japanese Grand Prix.
In the final stages of the race, Alonso, Russell and Oscar Piastri were the protagonists in the fight for sixth place, who then arrived in the’order at the finish line, and the Spaniard of the’Aston Martin as in Melbourne again defended himself from the attacks of the Briton of Mercedes.
Alonso moreover allowed Piastri to use the DRS when he was behind him, thus putting Russell in trouble, who è managed to overtake the McLaren’s Australian only on the last lap, and at the end of the race did not take it well at all, ironically declaring to his compatriots of Sky Sports Uk, as reported by formulapassion.it: “Fernando playing games, this è new…“.
Alonso’s response, as always, was not long in coming: “I don’t know what to say: after’Australia they could disqualify me for the rest of the championship? È clearly, having Piastri behind me was a way of defending myself against Russell. È what Carlos Sainz did in Singapore, giving the DRS to the second to protect himself from the third. È a normal thing, we do it in every race“.
