[Scott Mitchell-Malm] Fernando Alonso has rapidly followed through with his intention to speak to FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.

Tweet continues

He made clear earlier his concerns that driver nationality may be influencing penalties. Just emerged from FIA hospitality accompanied by team boss Mike Krack.

Flughoernchen,

Nice to see a driver not only complaining but actually taking action in an attempt to change the sport

hagelslager,

I missed what’s going on: why did Alonso take this action?

Alonso has complaints that Brit Drivers are given preferential treatment compared to drivers of other nationalities by the FIA . He was punished twice (Australia and China) and harshly for being a spaniard while Hamilton gets away with no penalty for the incident he caused in sprint.

hagelslager,

Thank you for the explanation!

Sorry but it never fails to get me… Sounds like a name Bart would give Moe in one of his prank calls 🤣.

Pantrygheist,

But Mohammed is one of the most common names in the world! Jk, I know you’re talking about Mike, always crack me up too, no pun intended.
