Alonso’s penalty for incorrectly lining up on the grid came one race after Esteban Ocon was hit with the same punishment in Bahrain with Russell revealing it’s “really, really tough” for the drivers to see the grid markings in today’s cars.
“We have these big long yellow lines pointing out but I cannot even see the yellow line, let alone the white lines determining your lateral position. It is really, really tough, so that is why I think in this regard we need to show a little bit more common sense.” Russell believes the FIA and the drivers need to find “common centre ground” when it comes to penalties after a slew of lap times were deleted in qualifying for the drivers grazing a “bit” of red paint.
