As reported by Formula Passion, Alonso posted a hilarious story on his Instagram by making a joke on the yellow flag rules. He also gave his opinion of stewards focusing on stupid rules rather than racing.

“Yellow = accelerate. Green = Yellow. There is always something to learn in every race,” wrote Alonso.

“I think we should worry more about what happens at the first curve of these well and I was the only one to overtake on the inside against two riders who went out on the paved escape route, returning to the track in front of me as if nothing had happened,” said the two-time world champion regarding stewards penalizing Max for burning his rubber near the pit wall in Austria.

The Alpine was not up to the mark the entire week, so Alonso happy to finish inside the points. He also said the damage was done on Friday when he qualified P13 in qualifying.

“I’m happy because this was an uncompetitive weekend. We were a little bit on the slow side of the grid. We qualified 13-14 on Friday, so that was really our potential here.

“Even with that we scored points with both cars, so that only means that we executed a good race, good strategy, good pit stop. No mistakes along the way in the weekend, so happy to deliver the job,” said Alonso.

With his P8 in the race, Alonso now has 50 points in the drivers’ championship. He is currently 10th in the standing and will look to add more points in the season.
