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.
There were some calls for harsher penalty after his previous attempt at this tactics in Saudia Arabian GP.
Albon said as much as:
“The other one was a bit cheeky, the other 10-second one with Yuki. I mean, you basically guarantee your teammate points for a 10-second penalty. Why wouldn’t you do that everywhere? I don’t think five to 10 seconds is correct. I think it needs to be you must return the position back, and just leave it like that.
“I think any team would do the same thing if you sacrifice one driver for guaranteed points. Maybe the top teams won’t do it. But the midfield teams who need to take points at any opportunity, you would do it every single time.
“I think you might see more drivers doing it just to guarantee a team-mate to have points.”
I don’t think there is going to be any major impact this year or even next year. Maybe the personnel poached could help other teams get closer to Red Bull.
