Ferrari F1 boss Fred Vasseur reckons Fernando Alonso would have been “more than vocal on the radio” if roles were reversed in an incident with Charles Leclerc during the Qatar Grand Prix.
Alonso ran wide through the gravel after making a mistake at Turn 2 on the 33rd lap of Sunday’s race at Qatar, before aggressively chopping in front of Leclerc’s Ferrari as he rejoined the track.Vasseur was critical of Alonso after the race and suggested the Spaniard would have made a bigger deal out of the incident had things been the other way around.
“If it was in the opposite I think that Fernando would have been more than vocal on the radio, that his life was ‘really on the edge’ and so and so,” Vasseur said. “I think it was far too much coming from nowhere and crossing the track at 90 degrees, but it’s not my decision.”“It was on the limit, yes. But on the other hand, he was so far off that I don’t think he saw me at any point,” he explained.
“Then coming back, it’s not the best way to rejoin the track, but at the same time I don’t think he was aware that I was there.”Alonso acknowledged his error, saying: “I lost the car, it was my mistake. I was struggling a little bit with on-off grip in the car at the moment.
