Damon Hill defends Fernando Alonso amid “gamesmanship” George Russell incident
“I just think that this has to be a p꧃art of the sport..."

Damon Hill has defended 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Fernando Alonso from accusations of “dastardly tric🐬ks” after his F1 Australian G📖rand 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澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:George Russell.
Heading int💃o Turn 6, Alonso slowed down before accelerating and, although the two cars did not m♊ake contact, Russell crashed out of the race.
Ex-F1 champ Hill told the F1 Nation podcast: “I do think th♊is is where we get into the difficult area of: what is racing and what are dastardly tꦫricks?
“You have to assume that the FIA want to stop people doing things that 💖are potentially dangerous.
“But, t🎐hen, it is dangerous! Motor 🐬racing is dangerous!
“You have to be ca❀reful when you’re going for a move on someone, when you are closing on someone.
“You ha🌸ve to be prepared for them to do things that are gamesmanship.
“I just thi𓆉nk that this has to be a part of the sport.
ꦏ“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… thaꦛt’s not rea🌄lly racing.”
Martin Brundle had previously likened the inci🥃dent to another involving Alonso, against💧 David Coulthard in Germany in 2003.
Brundle wrote for : “Alonso popped his saintly halo on and went to see the Race Stewards, explainin﷽g how he intended to approach turn six differently for a 𝕴better exit speed which included decelerating 100 metres earlier, brushing the brake, and even a downshift.
“This is what caught Russell out. We've seeꦿn Alonso do that before in Nurburgring in 2003 against David Coulthard, and he had exactly the same playbook.”
