168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso has playfully joked that he could get “disqualified for the rest of the championship” for his defensive tactics at end of the F1 Japanese Grand Prix.

The Aston Martin claimed a strong sixth place in Japan but had to fight to keep McLaren’s 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Oscar Piastri and Mercedes’ 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell behind him in the closing stages of Sunday’s rac🗹e.

Similar to the tactics used by 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Carlos Sainz in Singapore last year, Alonso ensured 𒉰Piastri stayed within DRS range to protect himself from a charging Russell.

While Russell was able to get past Piastri, he ultimately ran out of laps to challenge ꦜAlonso and had to settle with seven❀th.

It came a fortnight after Alonso received a 20-second penalty for “potentially d𓄧angerous driving” in his bid to keep Russell behind him in Australia.

And the two-time world▨ champion couldn’t help himself from cheekily poking some fun at the FIA.

"I don't know what to say anymore after Australia, let's see if I get disqualified for the rest of the championship,” Alonso t🍷old Spanish television channel DAZN.

“It's clear that hav﷽ing Piastri behind, it was a way to defend myself from Russell, so I was probably taking a bit of battery off on the last straight to get Piastri within a second.

“Carlos did it😼 like that in Singapore last year t♉oo, and it's a normal racing thing.”

Asked if he was aware of the DRS tricks being played by Alon💦so, Russell laugheꦫd and told Sky Sports F1: “Of course.

“🤡Fernando playing games? That’s new!  It was smart from Fernando and I expected nothing less, that’s part of racing.”

Alonso felt he ওproduced one of his best ever perform🐠ances over the Suzuka weekend.

“I thin𓆉k it was one of my best races or my best weekends,” Alonso told Sky Sports F1. “I thin𒁃k it was very complete and very strong, very solid.

“Since free practice, to the race, maybe the best of the last year or maybe e⛎ven top five of my career. But this is going to be completely anonymous.”
