Fernando Alonso is pleased that after the race in Jeddah, the FIA has decided to increase the width of the markings on the grid by 20 centimeters to avoid unnecessary fines.
Fernando Alonso: “There were two penalties in two races, so the decision is quite logical. I think these eight inches will help. Problems are possible in Monaco or Monza – there you have the car slightly sideways to avoid an accident – you crash when the car is upright, but on other circuits it should help.
The difficulty is that from the cockpit you can’t see the layout. You look sideways so as not to accidentally cross the yellow line. In the last race I made a mistake and got a penalty, I hope there are no more penalties.
Melbourne stage? Unsure. We are not competing with Red Bull. The joining of forces should be about the same as in Jeddah. I would like to get my 33rd win, but you have to be realistic. However, the season is long this year, a lot can happen.
It is nice to see how happy the arrival of Formula 1 is in Australia, we will try to please the public with a fierce fight.”
