Damon Hill has defended 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Fernando Alonso  from accusations of “dastardly tricks” after his F1 Australian Grandꦇ Prix incident.

Aston Martin driver Alonso was hit with a 20-second time penalty last weekend in Melbourne, with the FIA citing “potentially dangerous driving” for a situation involving 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:George Russell.

Hea💖ding into Turn 6, Alonso slowed down before accelerating and, although the two ca🍃rs did not make contact, Russell crashed out of the race.

Ex-F1 c𒅌ha🐈mp Hill told the F1 Nation podcast: “I do think this is where we get into the difficult area of: what is racing and what are dastardly tricks?

“You have to assume that the FIA want to stop peཧopl☂e doing things that are potentially dangerous.

“But, then, it is dangerous! Motor raciꦺng is dangerous!

“You have to be careful when you’re going for a move on someone, whe൩n you ar༒e closing on someone.

“You have to be prepared for them to do things that ﷽are gamesmanship.

“🌞I just ൲think that this has to be a part of the sport.

“Being wary of an individual because they’ve got form?🅘 Or they are clever?🎉 Or whatever…

“I just ✱think the idea that you’ve got to stop people doing anything unexpected… that’s not really racing.”

Martin Brundle had previously likened꧙ the incident to another involving Alonso, against David Coulthard in Germany in 2003.

Brundle w♍rote for : “Alonso popped his saintly halo on and went to see the Race Stewards, explaining how he intended to approach turn six differently for a better exit speed which included decelerating 100 metres earlier, b𓆏rushing the brake, and even a downshift.

“This is what caught Russell out. We've seen Alonso do that before in Nurburgring in 2003 against David Coulthard, a👍nd he had exactly the same playbook.”
