Nice to see a driver not only complaining but actually taking action in an attempt to change the sport

Alonso has complaints that Brit Drivers are given preferential treatment compared to drivers of other nationalities by the FIA . He was punished twice (Australia and China) and harshly for being a spaniard while Hamilton gets away with no penalty for the incident he caused in sprint.

Sorry but it never fails to get me.... Sounds like a name Bart would give Moe in one of his prank calls 🤣.
