Fernando Alonso has vented his frustration at the current pre-season testing format, which restricts drivers to just one and a half days of testing.
Fernando Alonso has criticized the current pre-season testing format as “unfair”, noting the limited running drivers can perform before the Bahrain Grand Prix. The testing begins on Wednesday at the Bahrain International Circuit, with each driver allotted around one and a half days. Despite the three-day duration, teams are only allowed to field one car per day, meaning each driver is used individually. Alonso questions the logic behind these restrictions in a time when F1 aims to enhance entertainment for fans. The Spaniard suggests extending the test to four days or allowing teams to run both cars simultaneously to provide a fairer preparation ahead of the upcoming season.
