Alonso slams Aston Martin after Barcelona: 'We have the worst car and worst engine.' Paddock rumors say he's moving to Alpine for 2027 to get a Mercedes engine, tired of waiting for Honda and Newey's paper-and-pencil design mistakes. #F1 #FernandoAlonso #AstonMartin #AlpineF1

🚨| Red Bull Issues Warning to F1 After Podium Loss:
— Laurent Mekies, Red Bull Racing team principal, expressed concerns over the confusion caused by the stewards' decision to strip Isack Hadjar of his podium finish. Speaking to media, Mekies remarked:
“Even if we leave the podium aside for a moment, it's clear that it's difficult for viewers at home, for television, to understand when penalties are handed out that cannot actually be appealed.”
— Mekies elaborated on the complexity of the penalty system, noting the inconsistency in appealability. He explained:
“Some penalties were served during the race, and those cannot be appealed. And then there are penalties that can still be appealed.”
“It even happens that such penalties are subsequently overturned. That makes things difficult for the sport as a whole.”
— Red Bull and McLaren have announced their intention to appeal the decision. Mekies emphasized the importance of team consultations, stating:
“We come together before every race with the entire team and consult both here at the circuit and at the factory.”
— Mekies clarified that the meeting was not solely about Hadjar's lost podium:
“That's the normal course of action, nothing special at the moment. It's true, of course, that there are many things going on right now, such as changes in the regulations.”
— The situation arose after Alpine successfully challenged the penalties given to Pierre Gasly in Monaco, leading to Hadjar losing his first podium with Red Bull. The stewards acknowledged a calculation error, reinstating Gasly's P3.
— Mercedes is also contemplating legal action, as other teams affected by similar penalties had no recourse during the race.

🚨| Gasly's Monaco Podium Reinstatement Sparks Debate:
— Former F1 TV presenter Will Buxton expressed concern that Pierre Gasly's reinstated Monaco podium could establish a complicated precedent. Speaking to media, Buxton remarked:
“Points are points but nothing can replace the loss for Pierre Gasly of standing on that special podium.”
— The FIA reinstated Gasly's third place after Alpine successfully challenged the penalties he received for allegedly speeding in the pitlane. Buxton noted:
“Good the FIA righted a wrong, but given the result could only be reinstated because penalties weren’t served in the race, sets a hornet's nest of a precedent.”
— Mercedes chief Toto Wolff revealed the team is considering legal options after George Russell lost a points-paying position due to similar penalties. During a press conference, Wolff explained:
“It was a very unfortunate situation and clearly we can all learn from that.”
— Wolff emphasized the impact of the penalties on Russell's race and championship standing:
“Without the penalty, without us not serving it correctly, it would have been a totally different outcome for his race.”
— He further discussed the team's ongoing assessment of the situation:
“Now we are assessing, as we speak, what the Gasly situation does for George.”
“We would like the FIA to look at what are the remedies ... What could be the remedies for George's race?”
“It's data they have measured and collected. There is no political background, no favours, it is the outcome of their analysis.”
— Wolff concluded by reflecting on the broader implications for Russell's season:
“Without the Monaco incidents, he (Russell) would have scored solid points. And so this continues and it's been somehow, the signature of this campaign so far.”

🕵️♂️ Transfer Rumors: Alonso and Sainz in Alpine’s Crosshairs?
The paddock is buzzing with talks regarding the future lineup of the French team. Despite rumors about a potential move for Fernando Alonso, Aston Martin was quick to dismiss these as mere speculation.
Meanwhile, Carlos Sainz’s representatives were spotted at the Alpine motorhome. Carlos himself is currently sticking to the plan of developing the Williams project but admits he remains open to considering all options in the coming months.
🇮🇹 Briatore’s Cold Logic: "The Car First, Then the Champion"
Flavio Briatore has brought some clarity to the team’s transfer policy. In his view, there is no point for Alpine to spend big on a top-tier driver right now, and here is why:
🔧 Machinery Over Names
Briatore emphasizes that the number one priority is the technical improvement of the car. Putting a World Champion in a slow car is a pointless endeavor, as even a great driver cannot win without decent machinery. The team has no intention of hiring a "star" just to fight for fifth place.
📈 The Development Plan
Currently, Alpine’s goal is to maintain fifth place in the Constructors' Championship and gradually close the gap to the leaders. Flavio believes that top pilots should only be considered once the car trails competitors (like McLaren) by no more than two-tenths of a second. At that precise moment, a driver's skill can compensate for the remaining deficit and bring home victories.
👥 The Current Lineup
For now, Briatore is fully satisfied with the Gasly-Colapinto duo, considering their level adequate for the current capabilities of the car.
🏁 The situation may shift by August, but for now, Alpine is focused on blueprints and wind tunnels rather than blockbuster contracts.

🚨RUMOUR | Alonso's Potential Alpine Comeback Sparks Interest:
— Fernando Alonso is rumored to be considering a return to Alpine, the team where he clinched two world championships. With his contract at Aston Martin ending, the 44-year-old is evaluating his options for what could be his final F1 contract.
— Speculation has intensified since the Miami Grand Prix, linking Alonso to Alpine, now under the consultancy of Flavio Briatore, who has a longstanding relationship with Alonso. Briatore's influence is seen as pivotal, especially with Gucci joining as a title sponsor for 2027.
— Alpine's recent performance boost, highlighted by Pierre Gasly's podium in Monaco, has made it an attractive option. Alonso's potential return is seen as a full-circle moment, with his history at the team adding to the allure of the move.
— Other drivers like Alex Albon and George Russell are also linked to Alpine, but Alonso's ties with Briatore make his return more plausible. Franco Colapinto, currently on a one-year deal, could be at risk if Alonso joins, despite recent improvements.
— Alonso's history with the Enstone operation includes multiple stints, with significant success during his time with Renault. His potential return would mark his fourth tenure with the team, bringing his career full circle.
— At 45, Alonso remains the oldest and most experienced driver on the grid. While he continues to perform well against Lance Stroll at Aston Martin, the team's struggles might prompt a move to Alpine for better prospects.
— A switch to Alpine would mean leaving a factory team for a customer setup, as Aston Martin partners with Honda for power units. However, the romantic notion of returning to his F1 roots could be a fitting end to his illustrious career.

Steve Nielsen: “Ciertamente no estamos satisfechos después del resultado de hoy, donde terminamos la clasificación con ambos autos bastante lejos de la Q3. Por alguna razón estamos enfrentando más dificultades de lo habitual en este circuito y tenemos mucho trabajo que hacer para entender por qué. Cambiamos el chasis de Pierre durante la noche, ya que decidimos cambiar varios componentes de su auto para intentar resolver algunas dudas que detectamos en nuestros datos. Por lo que parece, eso no ha dado muchas respuestas nuevas ni mejora suficiente.
Las tandas con mucho combustible de ayer fueron duras para la mayoría de los equipos, con las altas temperaturas de la pista causando una degradación significativa de los neumáticos, y es probable que veamos más paradas en boxes de lo habitual en la carrera de mañana, tal vez incluso tres paradas para algunos. Habrá una mezcla de estrategias a lo largo de la parrilla, posibles oportunidades para aprovechar y haremos todo lo posible para llevar ambos autos hacia el top diez y los puntos.” #BarcelonaGP #AlpineF1 #F1

Pierre Gasly: “Ha sido un día difícil y parece que estamos teniendo problemas en esta pista por alguna razón. Estoy seguro de que había un poco más hoy, pero la Q3 definitivamente estaba demasiado fuera de nuestro alcance. Estamos tratando de entender algunas cosas ya que no me he sentido cómodo en el coche durante todo el fin de semana. No puedo atacar al frenar y me cuesta tener confianza, con el coche moviéndose bastante.
Probamos algunas cosas durante la noche, incluido un cambio de chasis, y todavía no estamos encontrando las respuestas que queremos, así que definitivamente nos queda mucho trabajo por delante. Probablemente veremos una degradación de neumáticos bastante alta mañana, así que será probablemente una carrera difícil para todos. Veremos qué podemos hacer e intentaremos recuperar algunas posiciones.” #BarcelonaGP #AlpineF1 #F1

Fernando Alonso could reportedly view Alpine as a backup option for 2027 if Aston Martin doesn't show enough improvement in the second half of the 2026 season. 👀
