to understand alonso's position we have to look back to the two races at the red bull ring earlier this season after the second of those the austrian grand prix he hit out at rivals abusing the runoff area at the exit of turn one on the first lap this was on the basis not only of allowing drivers taking the outside line and carrying speed across the runoff area before rejoining ahead of where they should be but also the advantage that they gain on a subsequent straight by being able to pick up the toe from cars ahead alonso has not only complained about this publicly but he's also raised it in driver's briefings when he has done so he's been given short shrift for pointing out what he sees as a problem that should have been fixed after the start in austria he made some sarcastic comments over the radio showing how unhappy he was at the time to be disadvantaged by rivals doing something that he has previously questioned he also mentioned to the team that if the fia is as he put it happy with track limits he will take advantage elsewhere nobody was penalised in austria and alonso has continued to beat this particular drum that's unsurprising given he's a driver with a knack for picking the right place at the start and feels that one of his strengths is being negated by drivers capitalizing on lenient trap limits in russia he was as good as his word about the fact he would have to take advantage of something he dislikes in the future this video is sponsored by fNUMBER_TOKEN authentics the home for official fNUMBER_TOKEN memorabilia you can get the ultimate fNUMBER_TOKEN memorabilia from sports memorabilia specialists including sports artwork signed photos authentic mini helmets there's even race sworn kit like gloves and race suits car parts and for those who like their memorabilia to be practical there are even fNUMBER_TOKEN wheel rim tables visit URL_TOKEN to find out more about what they do
