Fernando Alonso , who started from fifth place in the Turkish GP of the Formula 1 World Championship , had a very bumpy start. In the first place it was Gasly who threw him off the track as soon as he started, so the Asturian lost quite a few positions. Later it was the Alpine driver who hit Mick Schumacher.
The green lights came on at the Istanbul circuit and Fernando Alonso stepped on the accelerator. In the first corners the Asturian, who started fifth, received a blow from behind. Gasly’s car hit the Spaniard’s, throwing him off the track and causing him to spin. Despite this, the Alpine man was able to return to the track and the Frenchman was penalized with 5 seconds.

Fernando Alonso lost ten positions after the accident with Gasly , so the two-time world champion tried to regain positions with intense tactics. The Asturian also touched Mick Schumacher’s car and took the German off the track, who lost three positions. This crash was also investigated and ended with a 5-second penalty for the Spanish driver.
😱 Another touch of Alonso! What a bumpy start to the race!
