168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso has criticised the current pre-season testing format, saying it is “unfair” on F1 drivers.

Pre-season testing gets u♏nderway in Bahrain on Wednesday, the first of three days of running before the 2024 campaign gets underway on March 2.

Having previously been carried out across two four-day testsꦦ, the pre-season testing format has been slimmed down in recent year💝s.

Now a single three-day test in Bahrain, drivers get rough🎃ly one and a half da🐲ys of running in their new cars, with teams only able to field one car per day.

Aloꦗnso feels the current system does not give driಌvers enough time to prepare for the new season and should be changed.

The two-time world champion sees no reason why each team shouldꦿ not be allowed to run both of their cars and drivers꧟ simultaneously.

"We have very limited testing in Bahrain," Alonso said. "I've been thinking all winter about this, how unfair it is that we only have one day and a half to prepare a world 🗹championship.

"There is no other sport in the world, with all the money involved and with all the marketing and the good things that we say about Formula 1 and being closer and closer to the🍨 fans, [where that happens].

"I cannot understand why we then go to Bahrain for four days, which could be two and two for the dr♕ivers. If you go to three, which is n🐼ot even, which is an odd number, you cannot divide between the drivers.

"And I don't know why we don't go ꦛwith two cars? Because we are already in Bahrain and we race the following week.”

Mercedes driver and GPDA director Geꦏorge Russell echoed Alonso’s comments, saying last year: "Personally speaking, I don't think three days is enough, because you have go🔴t to remember from a driver's perspective, that is one and a half days per driver.

"Could you imagine Rafael Nadal spending 12 weeks without hitting ܫa ball and then going straight i𝔉nto the French Open with one and a half days of training? It just wouldn't ever happen.

"I understand and recognise why we do that. I think three days with two cars would proba🧸bly be a good p🙈lace to be."
