Alonso hits out at F1 for having ‘different rules for different drivers’

Alonso took to the Turn 2 escape🎀 road on ♔the first lap at Sochi having done the same on his way to the grid before the race.
The FIA didn’t investigate the incident after he was deemed not to have gained an advanta༒ge, although the move attracted attention on social media after the race.
Speaking ahead of this weekend’s Turkish Grand Prix, Alonso said he did it to “see the questions🧔 here in Istanbul” and to prove that the reaction to such moves very depending on which drivers are involved.
“Just to see the questions here in Istanbul, Alonso said in the pre-race press conference. “Just to confirm when I do things they have a dif🌠ferent behaviour and a different repercussion on the fo🤪llowing event. So now, maybe they change the run-off area in Lap 1 in the first couple of corners.
“I’ve been the idiot on track for most of the championship while I’ve been overtaken from outside of the asphalt for many people in the first c🌃ouple of races and even in Austria, I remember Austria 1 and Austria 2 and nothing happened, and there were no questꩲions in the following races and now after Sochi, there’s a question. It’s a confirmation.”
Alonso appeared to take another dig at the stewards for not penalis⛎ing Lando Norris after he crossed the p♓it entry line when recovering to the pit lane on dry tyres in wet conditions.
The Spaniard was asked to clarify his first answer, he replied: “Confirmatio෴n of many things. One that there are different rules for different people or different talks the week afꦅter for different people. Let’s see the next one that crosses the white line on the pit entry, let’s see which nationality he is and which penalty he will get.”
