Lando Norris aims dig at George Russell over Fernando Alonso crash at Australian Grand Prix
Lando Norris reckons George Russell could have avoided crashing out of the Australian Grand Prix and that Fernando Alonso was not to blame for the incident.
Russell crashed on the last lap in Melbourne, with his Mercedes hitting the barriers before ending up on its side in the middle of the track, leaving the British driver screaming in terror.
The British driver was chasing Alonso at the time, and the Spaniard was subsequently penalised for causing the crash as it was judged that he brake-tested his rival.
Alonso refutes this, and the incident has divided Formula 1 fans and pundits with the Aston Martin star’s tactics blurring the lines between strategic and dangerous driving.
