Fernando Alonso was not impressed after FP1 was curtailed following a CCTV issue at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve. F1 CanadianGP
Fernando Alonso slams F1 and FIA for ’embarrassing’ FP1 red flag situationFernando Alonso has hit out at Formula 1 for “shooting ourselves in our feet” over the red flag that curtailed the majority of FP1 in Canada on Friday.
But as the FIA and Formula 1 scrambled to resolve the issue, this meant the session was red flagged for much longer than anticipated, with Pierre Gasly’s stricken Alpine, for which the red flag had initially been brought out, having long been cleared off the circuit. Even though most of the drivers were able to put together solid enough run plans over the course of a 90-minute session later on Friday, Alonso felt sympathy for the thousands of fans who had to wait for several hours longer than anticipated to see Formula 1 cars rounding the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in anger.PlanetF1.com recommends“No, not at all, and it was a shame,” Alonso said when asked if he had managed to make up for lost time in FP2 on Friday.
“So, yeah, from time to time it seems that we are shooting [ourselves] in our feet, you know, as a sport. So these things are a little bit embarrassing.”
