Hungarian Grand Prix Leaves Aston Martin with Controversy
Aston Martin faced a heated situation at the Hungarian Grand Prix, where team orders were ignored, leaving the team with only one point.
Fernando Downplays the Matter
Fernando Alonso was questioned by the media after the race and chose not to criticize his teammate’s decision. "I didn’t care too much, it was a point for the team. It doesn’t matter which of the two cars takes that point," he said.
A Situation Already Seen in F1
This incident is not the first of its kind in Formula 1. In 2013, Sebastian Vettel and Mark Webber had a similar situation at the Malaysian Grand Prix, where Red Bull told Vettel not to attack his teammate. Vettel ignored the order and finished first, leaving Webber frustrated.
Alonso’s Past Experiences
This is not the first time Alonso has been involved in a team order controversy. In 2010, he was told to let Felipe Massa pass him at the German Grand Prix, but he managed to get ahead and achieve his 23rd victory.
Aston Martin’s Weekend
Aston Martin leaves Hungary with just one point, but with a good taste in its mouth. They are now looking ahead to Spa, where they hope to have both cars back in the points. Lance Stroll finished in tenth position, just ahead of Fernando Alonso after the incident at the end of the race.
