Ex-F1 driver Timo Glock has claimed 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso knew exactly what he was doin🅘g with driving that ultimately earned him a penalty at the Australian Grand Prix.

Aston Martin driver Alonso was penalised 20 seconds for “potentially dangerous driving” in an incident that led to a heavy crash for Mercedes’ 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell.

The pair were battling over sixth place in the cl✨osing stages of the Melbourne race when Russell crashed out, although the pair never made contact.

Alonso admitted h𝓡e had braked too early at Turn 6 before accelerating again. The manoeuvre took Russell, who was running directly behind, by surprise as he lost control of his car ෴and slammed into the barriers.

Former grand prix racer Glock believes Alonso was t✱rying to exploit a “grey area” of the rꦦegulations in order to “gain an advantage”.

“Alonso brakes very early and allows ꦡRussell to catch up,” Glock told . “Alonso’s idea was to catch Russell off guard, slow him down, and then accelerate early to open a gap.

“It was so extreme that Russell didn’t expect it at all. He👍 got way too close an൩d lost downforce.

“Alons𓆉o extends his elbows and uses the grey area to gain an advantage. He already knows what h𝓀e’s doing with his experience.”

Alonso described his punishment - which dropped him from sixth to eighth in the final results - as “disappointing” and insisted he had been nursing battery ✃problems on his car in the final stages.

"George caught me quickly, I knew that he w🐟as comiꦑng," Alonso said.

"Then he was in DRS range for five or six l💜aps, so I was just doing qualifying laps to stay ahead.

"I w🐻anted to maximise my exit speed from Turn 6 to defend against him. That’s what any racing driver would do, a🗹nd I didn’t feel it was dangerous.

"It’s disappointing to get a penalty from the stewards for what was hard but fair racing. Still, I’m g🐲lad that George is okay. It was not nice to see his car in the middle of the track."
