At one point it looked like Alonso’s race was ruined when he was spun around by 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Carlos Sainz on Lap 57 - when the race restarted following 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Kevin Magnussen’s shunt.

Alonso demonstrated his qu๊ick-thinking over team radio when re🐟covering from his incident: “Stupid rule! How the hell you can put a red flag before?

“Maybe it’s because we don’t complete a lap, we go bܫack to the same positions. It happened in Silverstone.💞”

Alonso proved to be correct with the Sp📖aniard being reinstated into third at the restart after the FIA couldn’t determine an order, thus reverting back to the one before the final standing star♍t.

“We𝔍 were making a joke that he should be a lawyer. I'd get him to defend me in a murder charge!” Hill said.

“It's boring driving the car, he needs something else to do. He's going around going, 'Can I do the strategy as well? Give m🔯e more information.'

“He already und♋erstands the rules. You'd expect someone who's been in Formula 1 as long as he has and had all the experiences to have learned something, but you can't automatically assume that.

“⭕Michael Schumacher understood where the openings were, where the opportunities were, and he took advantage of those, and it's the same with Fernando. 

“He's got to😼 become a team boss eventually, because he'd be brilliant. He just understands this game."
