Fernando Alonso says he will seek clarification from F1’s race director after being left “very confused” by what he feels are double standards with regards to the racing rules AustrianGP
“So, I leave the track in Miami on one corner and I gain advantage for them, and they have to imagine that I gain advantage because I give back the fact was that I gave back all the advantage.
At the start of this year, the FIA outlined new guidance that a driver overtaking on the inside of a corner must “have a significant portion of the car alongside” to be given space. “I’ve seen one clip when I overtook them and I think Checo went off track and gained an advantage - I think in those scenarios, as drivers, we are generally asking for things to be black and white. You can do this and you can’t do that, not that it’s dependent on lots of different things.
“When you go back to the karting days, if you are on the inside and have got the corner, it is sort of your right to do what you wish from the mid to the exit, if you are fully down the inside. “There is always some calculation that goes into an overtake. I don’t think some wording is going to change how we approach it. We have the best judgement at the time. As far as our approach, I don’t think is unchanged.
