Alonso and Stroll were two of the 🙈10 drivers not to pick up a penalty on 🐠Sunday.

Krack is confident teams will learn from the events of this year when F1 returns to Austria in 2024.

“I think they will,” he added. “We learned our lesson last year to be honest. We had penalties last year💟 and we said it yesterday, our drivers ears were bleeding because we told them not to exceed limits because the penalties would come. 

“We must also keep in min꧙d 10 drivers had no penalties so it was possible to stay within the🎶 limits.”
