The big news for the Australian Grand Prix it will not be to have a circuit with 4 DRS zones nor the improvements that Aston Martin will incorporatebut the widening of 20 centimeters of the output boxes.
The sanction to Fernando Alonsoin jeddah by place he AMR23 slightly out of bounds, caused quite a stir on the gridiron. In the first race of the year, the same thing happened to Esteban Ocon in Bahrain.
In fact, in Alpine sympathized with the Asturian pilot, whose pulse did not tremble to let the FIA that “it was such a big botch that he found it funny”.
On social networks, a great uproar was generated by the Asturian’s sanction, since different shots of the rest of the drivers who also positioned their car incorrectly were seen.
Reviewing some photos of the grid to see Alonso sanction, I see that he is not the only one who was out of position. Is the line the limit?🤷♂️
Checking some grid pictures to verify Alonso’s penalty, I realized there were other drivers out of position. Is the line the limit?🤷♂️#f1 pic.twitter.com/DqwL3CaVG5

This weekend it will be seen if the pilots are satisfied with a rule which, far from being suppressed, has been adapted.
