This Thursday the final verdict will be known. ‘Fernando Alonso case’ and if the FIA maintains the sanction 30 seconds for driving in “unsafe conditions” after his right rear view mirror flew off.
Waiting for what the governing body says, the Formula 1 He has closed ranks around the Spaniard and has shown him his unconditional support.
One of the authorized voices of the ‘Great Circus’ who has spoken has been the British ex-pilot Martin Brundlewhich states that the penalty is “unfair”.
In his column in ‘Sky Sports’, the F1 commentator has recalled another feat of the two-time classification champion 2006 Monza Grand Prix.
“This reminds me of when Fernando made an exceptional job with a damaged car due to a puncture in qualifying at Monza in 2006″, he pointed out.
“He was dubiously penalized five grid places for ‘blocking’ Felipe Massa’s distant Ferrari, at which point said angrily that he no longer considered Formula 1 as a sport. Sixteen years later, he obviously still does, but the injustice feels the same to me.”
For Brundle, there is a lack of “common sense” in the work of Race Direction: “The rules are the rules and, in general, I support that they be applied more rigidly, but they need common sense of some pilots accompany them”.
