It was far from the health walk. On Sunday, April 2nd, Max Verstappen (Red Bull) won the Australian Grand Prix and finished ahead of Lewis Hamilton (Mercedes) and Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin). A victory in chaos for the reigning double world champion. Indeed, only 12 of the 20 participating drivers managed to cross the finish line. That’s why the International Automobile Federation (FIA) finds itself elected because of many controversial decisions, such as the use of three red flags on the Albert Park circuit, a record in Formula 1 history.
The first red flag came after an incident involving Alexander Albon (Williams) on the 9th.to The lap causes a lot of debris on the track. Then a second red flag was raised when Kevin Magnussen (Haas) lost his tire with four laps left. The third red flag came after the final start that led to numerous crashes, including the spectacular collision between Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon’s two Alpines. In fact, a final red flag appeared when spectators occupied the track after the race. That’s why some drivers didn’t hesitate to criticize the FIA after the race: “I don’t understand why we have these red flags. Everything can be solved with a crane. They’re creating chaos with these flags“He started Max Verstappen on the mic. sky sports. “I feel like red flags are just for showlamented Lando Norris.
Directly involved in the latest and most chaotic event, Esteban Ocon did not hide his disappointment after the Australian Grand Prix. NextGen-Auto : “It is a pity that there are no cars at the finish, especially after showing good speed over the weekend. We had the performance to fight Ferraris and Aston Martins, so it’s hard for all of us to come back empty-handed.“However, the Frenchman does not hold teammate Pierre Gasly responsible for their collision:”The last hike was very chaotic and everything went very fast. The contact with Pierre is sad, but I’m glad we’re okay. We discussed it, everything is fine and there are no resentments. We’re both already looking forward to the next race and I know the whole team will want to get going fast from this weekend. Pierre fell victim to the massacre that followed. I could buy any car. There were cars on the track, obviously Pierre was one of them. But he wasn’t offended, as he reacted as best he could to what had happened to the others.“
Esteban Ocon, on the other hand, was more critical of the other drivers he criticized for taking too many risks on the track: “I resent the suicidal piloting of some, notably Nyck de Vries (actually Yuki Tsunoda, editor’s note). My tires were hot. I didn’t feel it was too slippery. But what was really misleading was the low light, we couldn’t see very well. However, some drivers were a little suicidal in Turn 1. It was very tight and there is obviously a lot to be gained at this point but for some riders it’s a bit too much…“
