Fernando Alonso controls everything that happens inside a circuit Formula 1. We have seen him watch television screens in the middle of the race, decide the team’s strategies, give advice to Lance Stroll… but what happened in Austria It was a new example that nothing escapes the Asturian’s vision.
Lando Norris He arrived at the end of the race very happy with his fifth position, the best of the season for him. And he left the Red Bull Ring without knowing anything about possible sanctions, but when he arrived at his house in the United Kingdom he had a message from Alonso.
And as he has confessed during the presentation ofMcLaren’s new livery For Silverstone to ‘PlanetF1’, that message from the Asturian was the first news he had about the sanctions that were going to take place: “Fernando immediately sent me a message of text saying ‘caught’.
“Then he told me to read everything he was thinking and who we thought was going to get the penalties. So I found out as soon as I landed in the UK and from him. It has been the easiest position gain of my life”, added the Briton in this regard.
Thanks to that aston martin protest and from which Alonso warned him, Norris was able to climb one position and finish the Austrian GP in fourth position, leaving a good taste in the mouth before facing his and the team’s home race at Silverstone.
