No revision for the events in Shanghai
Fernando Alonso he is certainly not known for his diplomacy and once again, in the Miami paddock, the Spanish veteran proved to be a direct and clear person in his thoughts, even at the cost of making some enemies. He didn’t like the Spaniard there penalty received in China in the Sprint race for the contact with his compatriot and friend Carlos Sainz, which cost him three points on the Superlicence.
A problem, given that now the two-time world champion will have to run the entire season just six penalty points away from one possible disqualification. The request of right of revision presented by Aston Martin it was rejected and so the #14 attacked the stewards quite directly, implying that – in the short race scheduled for today in Miami – pushing to try to bring home a few more points will not be part of the plan.
Sprint snubbed
“The sprint race means nothing – the Spaniard said to journalists present in Miami – especially since we can’t fight or anything like that. They give us penalties for everything we do. So this will be a fun day, but not for us. It won’t be very interesting for us“. Alonso got it in yesterday’s first qualifying the eighth time, right behind teammate Lance Stroll. But not even this decent starting position, which if confirmed upon arrival would earn him a point, seems to stimulate the Aston Martin standard bearer in view of the short race.
“The Sprint race is useless – It reaffirmed – there are few points up for grabs. They don’t even let us fight, because they penalize us, therefore it will be a boring day to see from the outside, because we will be in a train of cars. But we will take useful information for the race“,
