The Austrian GP is off to a flying start as Charles Leclerc is in command ahead of Max Verstappen. Meanwhile, on the other end of the track, Fernando Alonso has just waved a finger at Yuki Tsunoda, stating his dissatisfaction with the Japanese.
During the wheel-to-wheel battle between the two, the AlphaTauri driver forced Alonso into the grass a little. Despite this, the Spaniard made the move on the inside. The two-time world champion was certainly not happy with Tsunoda’s defense and wagged his finger in the middle of an overtake.

Talk about control! Well, Alonso made it look easy, as he has been in Formula 1 for about two decades. However, the Spaniard is not happy with his team for the strategy they opted for today’s race. Things have not been smooth sailing for him as he started P19 after an electrical issue. This meant that he could not compete in yesterday’s sprint race.

Alpine’s reliability and strategy have been a question mark throughout this weekend. The French team has looked strong during the free practice and qualifying sessions but has failed to convert their performance to the races.
