 Former Formula 1 world champion Damon Hill has come to the defense of driver Fernando Alonso following the incident that took place at the Qatar Grand Prix, involving the Spaniard and young driver George Russell.

Hill commented on the F1 Nation podcast, highlighting the complexity of on-track situations and the need for intervention by the International Automobile Federation (FIA) in potentially dangerous cases.Hill questioned the fine line between fair play and questionable manoeuvres, arguing that the FIA needed to intervene in matters that put drivers at risk. He stressed that motor racing is inherently dangerous and drivers must be prepared to face unexpected situations, which are part of the game.

The incident in question occurred when Alonso slowed down before accelerating, resulting in a slight contact between his car and Russell’s, which ended up leaving the track. Hill compared Alonso’s approach to a similar situation that had occurred in the past, showing that the Spanish driver had used a similar approach in other races, showing consistency in his driving.

Martin Brundle, commentator for Sky Sports F1, also made a comparison between the current incident and what happened between Alonso and another driver in the past, highlighting the approach adopted by the Spanish driver in both situations.

He emphasized that Alonso had opened the mixture of his car to talk to the race stewards and explain his approach, indicating a deliberate and planned approach.These comments highlight the complexity of the situations drivers face during a Formula 1 race and the importance of considering all the factors at play.

While the incident has sparked debate and controversy, it also serves as a reminder of the challenging and unpredictable nature of the sport, where drivers need to be prepared to deal with any situation that arises on the track.Ultimately, driver safety remains a top priority, and it is important that the FIA and teams work together to ensure that all necessary measures are taken to protect competitors and prevent serious incidents during Formula 1 races .
