Both Räikkönen and Alonso eventually lost points in the US race.
Formula 1 series On Sunday, the US race offered quite a few moments of joy for Finns, and in the end only Mercedes was left. Valtteri Bottas sixth place.
Alfa Romeon Kimi Raikkonen drove a good race but slipped the worn tires on the car gravel at the end of the race and fell off the points.
However, Räikkönen served several passes during the race, especially Alpine Fernando Alonsosta was a good demonstration of a Finn’s driving skills.
Raikkonen overtook Alonso in the 16th round.
Alonso weighed in Räikkönen’s first bend over the track boundaries, but Räikkönen brazenly twisted past the Spaniard, even though pieces came off the bottom of the car in battle.
Alonso immediately demanded that Räikkönen surrender his seat because he had gone outside the track boundaries in a bypass situation. However, the jury of the race did not see a problem in the situation, but Räikkönen was allowed to keep his position.
A little later, Alonso teamed up with Räikkönen’s teammate Antonio Giovinazzin with the same bend.
This time, Alonso passed by driving a long bend. Alonso had to let Giovinazsi pass because drifting across the track boundaries was entirely his own fault.
Alpine discussed the situation with the race jury, but had to bend over.
Alonso finally interrupted after the rear wing disintegrated. The overtaking situations surfaced after the race, even though the man hardly wanted to comment on it anymore.
“They were normal battles, but the rules are a bit vague,” Alonso commented Racefans site by.
“Unfortunately, U.S. fans saw something they didn’t deserve.”
Raikkonen praised his car and regretted that the stable was left without points again.
“In a fight with Alonso, the bottom of my car got a bit hit. It didn’t affect the car’s balance, but the tires started to wear faster anyway. At the end of the race, there was not much traction left in the rear tires, ”Räikkönen commented in Alfa Romeo’s press release.
The Austin race was won by Red Bull Max Verstappen before Mercedes Lewis Hamilton and Red Bull Sergio Perez.
Valtteri Bottas was in the sixth.
