Fernando Alonso maintains his position at the Canadian GP despite his warning to the FIA: "There should be some penalty."

Fernando Alonso ultimately finished seventh in the Formula 1 Canadian GP after eight investigations by the FIA. The Asturian driver had hoped to finish as high as "fourth or fifth," as he himself stated at the end of the race. However, only Norris ultimately received a penalty, as he didn't even finish the race.

Russell, Norris, and Ocon, among others, were investigated by the FIA ​​for possible infractions during the race in Canada, all of whom finished ahead of Alonso. However, only Norris received a 5-second penalty, which did not change the race standings, as he ultimately retired.

Fernando Alonso, who took a dig at the FIA ​​after the race and thought there would be a penalty, ultimately finished seventh. "Let's see what happens. If you overtake under the safety car, it's non-negotiable, with yellow flags and yellow steering wheels. There should be a penalty. We hope it's not one of those 'next time, and today we don't do anything' situations," said the Asturian driver after the GP.

Alonso also explained that "you have to be strong in your head" and always keep "your morale high" to overcome the difficult times he's experienced in the World Championship, now enjoying a good run after the Canadian GP.

"It was a good weekend. Yesterday's time trial was crucial for a good race, even though we had to overtake several cars. We finished ahead of the midfield, first among the mortals. There's some investigation going on, so we're hoping for fourth or fifth in a couple of hours," he told DAZN.

The two-time world champion admitted that the Montreal track was favorable to them, although their run of form dates back to Imola. "Canada is especially good for us. We've taken advantage of it. We know there will be tougher races to come. The race went well, although the pace wasn't as good as yesterday's. We have to improve on Sundays," he stated, emphasizing the potential for penalties.

On the other hand, Alonso confessed that he's "curious" about the performance at Silverstone, where they're racing at home and may have "some new parts. " "Saturdays are better than Sundays, the last few races, and we have to understand that," he said.

"At certain points in my career I've certainly had bad luck, and you can see that with some drivers who are now frustrated with finishing fifth, they've never been out of Q1 and haven't broken their engine 12 times in a season. You have to be strong-minded and always have high morale. We all want to prove our worth; within the paddock , the 'Top 5' emerges quickly, and those outside think that those who earn the most are the best, but the entire paddock doesn't always agree with that," he reflected.
