Double abandonment of Alpine due to mechanical setbacks that has meant the second retirement of Fernando Alonso so far this year, deepening the anger that the two-time Spanish champion carried with him after a new dispute with the FIA in the distance.
After a performance in Turkey that prompted the International Automobile Federation to carry out a consequent modification in the regulation of the double yellow flag, thus forcing any pilot who is in a sector affected by said circumstance to throw his lap overboard, Fernando Alonso has once again had his pluses and minuses with the rules stipulated by the governing body of the Formula 1.
Engaged in an intense fight with Kimi Räikkönen, Alonso took him to the extreme, beyond the limits of the track, but the Finnish Alfa Romeo driver did not take his foot off the gas and ended up passing him meters later. Several requests from the Asturian on the radio later, in addition to a heated conversation from the Alpine representative directly with Michael Masi, it was time to battle Antonio Giovinazzi.

Angry when he considered that Räikkönen should have returned the position to him, something that he did not achieve, Alonso watched as the teammate of Iceman he repeated the same play. Nevertheless, # 14 threw in the towel when asked about a possible clarification from the FIA.
“No need … unfortunately, We come to America to give them a good show, to open Formula 1 in this country, and I think we have done a little … We have not given a good image. I think Kimi passed me on the outside in Turn 1, I passed Giovinazzi on the outside and I had to return the position, of course. Giovinazzi passed me on the outside, in the last advance I made, and he had to give me back the position, of course. 3 incidents exactly the same, 2 were one way and 1 another, and of course … “, he explained.
«I lost I think 10 seconds, and with them I would have made P9 easy, but the wing would have broken at the end, so nothing changes. But hey, that’s how it is. In the first lap we also saw that the exit of the curve … Sochi’s problems are gone, right? Or I suppose that in Mexico they will ask everyone what happened in the first corner, why did they all go outside. Because I did it in Sochi and there was a drama already in Turkey, so I hope that in Mexico there will be many questions to whoever did it this time, “continued Alonso.
Will the FIA criteria be unified for the next races or even next year? «I don’t think, I don’t think … this sport is like that, for better or for worse. We like it and we love it because it is like that, but we know that it will not always be fair to everyone, “added Alonso, aware that the sport to which he has dedicated his life will continue to be the same.
“The rear wing broke, he was looking up,” he revealed after suffering his second abandonment of the year. «I almost spun on the fast corner before entering boxes. I looked in the rear view and saw that the spoiler was broken. Fortunately I was able to reach the pitIf it happened in the first sector it would have been a bit more dangerous, with the fast corners. We had to withdraw, a shame, we would have been in the fight for the points now that Räikkönen also spun. Perhaps P10 would have allowed, we will try it in the next one, “he closed.
