Alpine driver talks about his race result and fires at the FIA
Fernando Alonso was unable to finish the race at the United States Grand Prix, on lap 49 the '14' had to retire because his rear wing broke. But previously, he had claimed a couple of times for the non-return of Kimi Raikkonen's position. The Asturian has spoken with 'Dazn' at the end of the race.
The abandonment
"The rear wing broke, he kept looking up, I almost spun in the fast corner before going into the pits. I looked in the mirrors and saw that the wing was broken Fortunately, I managed to get to the pit, if this happened in the first sector it would have been more dangerous with the fast corners, we had to retire, a pity, we would have been in the fight for points, with Raikkonen's spin, maybe, it would have allowed a P10, but well, for the next one".

Was there a visit to the FIA?
"There is no need to go to the FIA, unfortunately we come to America to give them a good show to open Formula 1 in this country and I think we have made a Little by... We didn't give a good image. I think Kimi passed me on the outside in the 1, I passed Giovinazzi on the outside and I had to return the position, of course, Antonio passed me on the outside, in the last lead I did to him, and he had to return the position. Three incidents, exactly the same, they all went one way and one another. Of course, I lost 10 seconds, I think with those 10 seconds I would have made P9 easy, the wing would still have broken In the end, it doesn't change anything. On the first lap we also saw that coming out of the corner, there are no longer the same problems as Sochi, 'oh I guess in Mexico they will ask everyone what happened in the first corner, why why did they all go outside', because I did it in Sochi and there was already a drama in Turkey, yes I hope that in Mexico there will be many questions to whoever did it this time".
The Race Direction criteria
"I don't think the criteria are unified, this sport is like that, for better or for worse. We like it and we love it because it is like that, but we know that it will not always be fair for everyone"
