Fernando Alonso was penalised for his actions as George Russell crashed out of the Australian Grand Prix.
RacingNews365 readers feel that Fernando Alonso’s penalty at the Australian Grand Prix was unjust, despite finishing sixth on the road. Alonso employed a clever strategy starting on hard tires and benefitted from a virtual safety car to make a cost-effective pit stop. However, his potentially dangerous driving following George Russell’s crash led to a 20-second penalty, dropping him to eighth. A poll revealed that 60.6% of voters believe the stewards’ decision was incorrect, disagreeing with the penalty imposed on the two-time world champion. Additionally, Alonso received three penalty points for his actions.
