You don’t normally see an F1 driver punished for someone crashing behind them without any contact - but Fernando Alonso’s driving in the Australian Grand Prix was penalised for exactly that.
Alonso was given a 20-second time penalty for the "unusual manoeuvre" that contributed to George Russell's dramatic last lap accident in Melbourne.
What initially looked like Russell shunting on his own in Alonso’s dirty air quickly morphed into something more, as it became clear that Alonso had at least lifted off the throttle on his way into the corner.
Unsurprisingly this became very divisive very quickly. Was it a brake test? Or was it just classic, ‘wily’ Alonso doing an age-old trick of making the car behind check up - and Russell just got caught out?
