In the last hours Fernando Alonso has charged against the International Automobile Federation (FIA) by considering that his team already receives sanctions “for anything”. He has done so by evaluating the body’s rejection of the appeal presented by Aston Martin regarding his penalty in the last Formula 1 Chinese Grand Prix.
“We haven’t done any long runs in FP1,” declared Alonso from the mixed zone of the Miami Grand Prix. “The Sprint race doesn’t mean anything, especially since we can’t fight or anything like that. We receive sanctions for anything we do. So tomorrow will be a fun day… but not for us, not very interesting,” he said.
“Definitely It was difficult to read the grip on the track and changing the tire compound from medium to soft at the end was difficult, but the same for everyone. “I think we got both cars into SQ3, which was the objective, and we’ll see tomorrow,” the Asturian driver told Sky Sports.
He then repeated it for television at the F1 World Cup itself. “It was a good day, both cars in SQ3, I think that was the goal. It has been, as always, difficult to understand the medium ones, the soft ones, etc. You only get one try, so okay, we’ll see tomorrow what we can do and what we can learn going into the race,” he said.
“The Sprint is useless, there are very few points at stake. They also don’t let us compete because they penalize us, so It will be a boring day from the outside because we will go on a car train. But we will get useful information for the race,” Alonso finally insisted with his protest.
