1997 World Champion Jacques Villeneuve summed up the US Grand Prix…
The race in Austin turned out to be interesting. It went from excellent handling to the dangerous actions of some riders, but this is the essence of our sport.
When I talk about dangerous flying, I mean Lance Stroll. For the incident with Alonso, he would have to be disqualified for one race. The FIA, in both Formula 1 and the junior series, often overlooks when drivers move sharply in a straight line, albeit very dangerous.
If you suddenly move in a straight line, you endanger the lives of other riders. The result could be a serious accident – and it will happen because you did it knowingly, and not be the result of an accidental mistake. I think this is unacceptable.
The FIA should be penalized for such behavior on track, even if it does not lead to an accident. For now, we’re just lucky to avoid them. And this should already start in the youth series. In Formula 4 and Formula 3, the guys sometimes pretend to play on a console. But these are real races.
Fernando was lucky that everything turned out well for him. He managed to return to the pit lane, swap tires and nose cone and then finish in the top ten. Alpine has a real tank truck and Fernando is a real master.
I was equally impressed with Verstappen. Hamilton was quickly behind the wheel of the Mercedes, but Max, after a hitch at the pit stop, was first able to get ahead of Leclerc, then overtake and overtake Lewis.
Mercedes made the mistake of putting Hamilton on hard tires for the last stint. The Mercedes car makes careful use of rubber and in the final phase of the race, when there is little fuel in the tanks and the asphalt has excellent grip, the choice of Medium tires was optimal. That’s exactly what Red Bull did.
