Fernando Alonso wants high-level FIA talks after strong Spanish accusation

Fernando Alonso has doubled down on his claim that “nationality” plays a role in the stewards’ decisions with the Spaniard heavily penalised of late while Lewis Hamilton escaped punishment in Miami.

The stewards, though, opted not to penalise Hamilton as the Briton, they felt, was not wholly to blame but instead had just “contributed” to the collision. “Also keeping in mind that this was in turn one of lap one where greater latitude is given to drivers for incidents, we took no further action.”F1 penalty points: Kevin Magnussen joins top of growing list near race ban threshold

“I need to make sure that there is not anything wrong with my nationality or anything that can influence any decision – not only for me, also for the future generation of Spanish drivers that need to be protected.”
