༺Due to the location of the Albert Park circuit, recovery vehicles must enter the ciꦓrcuit to clear stricken cars.

F1 faced backlash🐼, particularly from viewers, about having these cars on track amid safety concerns.

This sꦅtretches back to the 2014🌠 Japanese Grand Prix when Jules Bianchi tragically hit a recovery vehicle.

Afteဣr the race in Australia, No💫rris and Verstappen responded bluntly to any concerns.

Verstappen said: “I mean, if you crash into that, behind the Safety Car, then you’r💛e really stuꦏpid.”

And Norris added: “Yo♑u shouldn’t be in Formula 1.”

While Alonso was less abrupt with🐻 his response, but felt that i🙈t was “nothing crazy” and “under control”.

“I don’t know the exact details so difficult to coꦡmment,” he said. “I think Melbourne isn’t an easy track to recover cars. At one point they need to go into the tr♔ack.

“I think we have now a different system than what we had in the past that in the yellow flag zoꦛnes, even behind the Safety Car, you have to respect an even slower lap time. At one point you need to take that car out from the track so if you respect that time you shouldn’t be too fast in that zone.

“I♓ know the sense of the question but I don’t think it was nothing crazy. It was ♏under control.”

Gabriel Bortoleto agreed with Alonso.

The Sauber rookie said: “Same, to be honest🍒, I agree, the double yellow area that you need to follow the delta, you go very, very slow there.

“And if the stewards decided like this, for sure they’re keeping an eye oꦆn that after what happened in the past already, so they wouldn’t try to 🍸make a mistake like this again.”

Haas’ Oliver Bearman added: “I agree with everything they said. At the speed we were going, it was OK, but ✤yeah, I understand the sense of the question.”
