F1 United States Grand Prix: Fernando Alonso recalls Red Bull’s titles - “they won by exploiting a grey area”
Alonso was a Ferrari driver in 2010 and 2012 w🍬hen he lost out on the championship to Vettel, who was with Red Bull.
A decade later Red Bull are in talks with the FIA over their punishment for a “minor” breach of the 2021 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 cost cap (the budget was $145m).
"This has always been part of F1,” Alonso said at the168澳洲5最新开奖结果: F1 United States Grand Prix.
“This is a new thing we implemented recently, the cost 🍒cap, but there were always things aerodynamically that you could explore, some gr꧃ey areas.
"And always people who won the champions༺hips, they won e꧅xploiting that grey area. And then the other teams copy and they eventually get to that level or they ban that thing that was allowed for one or two races."
Alonso cited the Ferrari engin꧋e saga of 2019 - the Italian team came to a private settlement with the FIA over the l🦋egality of their machinery, before their performance dropped rapidly the following year.
"Ferrari won I think two races in 2019 with somethi꧟ng we all knew was not legal and nothing happened,” said Alonso who was absent from F1 in 2019.
“They kept those wins. It's quite amazing.
“Imagine that they won the championship in 2019 with that engine. It is ♔very difficult and we need to rely on the people who have the power and trust them."
