Carlos Sainz was penalized in Australia with five seconds after taking the lead to Fernando Alonso in the exit A sanction that took him out of the points and that was ratified by the FIA after. This accidental maneuver caused some fans to attack the Ferrari.
Well, Alonso has asked that these attacks cease and that there be respect. He believes that social media should respect all parties. He has said so in ‘Marca’, where he has analyzed what happened and has asked for calm in this regard.
“There are always going to be fans who are going to agree with a result or disagree, with the stewards’ decision or no decision. It’s hard to please everyone or make everyone happy. I said it after Australia, sometimes the penalty is harsh, and others is fine.It was what it was. It is a difficult decision to make and you have to respect it…says the Aston Martin.
“Regarding the attacks on social networks, we must tell them the same, that they respect the decision, that they respect the FIA, Carlos and me too. There are always good guys or bad guys and it shouldn’t be like that. We all go out to give our best every Sunday,” she asks.
Regarding what happened in Albert Park, where the positions were maintained after a chaotic start, Alonso trusts the race management decisions: “We don’t have that kind of information inside the cars…”.
“We were a bit surprised by the final red flagswhich are a bit unfair because they can change the result completely, but we don’t know all the reasons for those red flags,” said the two-time F1 champion.
