At the end of Q2 and looking to gain a foothold to set a competitive time that would take them to the last and definitive Q3, Fernando Alonso was severely damaged by Daniel Ricciardo’s McLaren at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix and showed his evident anger
The Alpine driver had set a good time in his first attempt at Q2, but it was clear that it was not going to be enough to reach the final qualifying round. Due to this, the Asturian driver tried to prepare his last lap in the best possible way, but what he did not expect was that Ricciardo ruined his last attempt at Q2.
When crossing the finish line and seeing himself in eleventh position, also just behind Daniel Ricciardo, the Asturian driver showed his anger with the Australian driver, since he clearly prevented him from being part of the last Q3 of this 2021 F1 season.
The incident caused quite a stir at the time and will surely be investigated after qualifying, so Daniel Ricciardo receiving a suspension within a few hours is not out of the question.
In addition, reaching the final minutes of Q2, almost all the drivers were involved in a tremendous traffic jam in the last corners of Yas Marina, something totally prohibited by the regulations of the highest category of motorsport, so it seems that the afternoon could be quite entertaining. as far as the stewards and the potential sanctions are concerned.
