Fernando Alonso has sided with Lando Norris and Max Verstappen in dismissing concerns about recovery vehicles being on track during the F1 Australian Grand Prix.

The season-opening race in Melbourneꦓ on Sunday was chaotic, with six cars failing to make the chꩵequered flag due to accidents.

Due to the locati♊on of the Albert Park circuit, recovery vehicles must enter the circuit to clear stricken cars.

F1 faced෴ backlash, particularly from viewers, about having these cars on track amid safe🐭ty concerns.

This stretches back to the 2014 Japanese Grand Prix when Jules Bianchi tragically hit꧒ a recovery vehicle.

After the race in Australia, Norris and ♓Verstappen r🦂esponded bluntly to any concerns.

Verstappen said: “I mean, if yꦦou crash into that, behind the Safety Car, then you’re really stupid.”

A♑nd Norris added: “You shouldn’t be in Formula 1.”

While Alonso was less abrupt with his response, but felt that it was “nothing crazy” and꧙ “under control”.

“I dꦺon’t know the exact details so difficult to comment,” he said. “I think Melbourne isn’t an easy track to recover ca𓆉rs. At one point they need to go into the track.

“I think we have now a different system than what we had in the past tha꧒t in the yellow flag zones, even behind the Safety Car, you have to respect an even slower lap timܫe. At one point you need to take that car out from the track so if you respect that time you shouldn’t be too fast in that zone.

“I know the sense of the question but I don🐼’t think it was nothi🅠ng crazy. It was under control.”

Gabriel Bortoleto agreed with Alonso.

The Sauber rookie said: “Same, to be hones🌠t, I agree, the double yellow area that you need to follow the delta, you go very, very slow there.

“And if the stewards decided like this, for sure they’re keeping an eye on that after what൲ happened iಌn the past already, so they wouldn’t try to make a mistake like this again.”

Haas’ Oliver ꩲBearman added: “I agree with everything they said. At the speed we🅰 were going, it was OK, but yeah, I understand the sense of the question.”
