The lack of action on the track led to a race-no-race that has generated controversy among Formula 1 drivers, with a Fernando Alonso who still does not understand how the FIA has chosen to make that final decision.
The Asturian’s fourth fastest time in Free Practice 2 of the Belgian GP was a mirage that was diluted in the rain of Spa-Francorchamps, with a Fernando Alonso who could not pass Q2 and was forced to go back on a Sunday that finally left the shortest race in the history of Formula 1.
The 3 points achieved by his teammate Esteban Ocon were the only ones in Alpine’s locker, dividing half of them due to the only 3 laps that served the FIA so as not to be forced to cancel everything after long hours of waiting. In the period of the red flags, the Asturian took pity on the fans in attendance.

“It’s no one’s fault, but it’s a shame”

Everyone tried to do their best, so it’s no one’s fault, but it’s a shame. Nonetheless, the viewers were amazing all weekendIt was good to see them back regardless of the weather, “concluded Alonso.
