The organizers confident to see Alonso in Valencia

The organizers of the European Grand Prix are confident that the exclusion of the local hero Fernando Alonso’s team will be overturned even before the lineup moves to the Valencia circuit, where the race takes place on August 23.

The FIA International Court of Appeal is not scheduled to hear the appeal before Monday of the race week, which means that confirmation of the suspension will only occur a few days before the start of practice sessions, and Renault will already have had to plan to attend.

The organizer Valmor Sport reacted to the penalty, caused by exiting the pits with a poorly fixed wheel in Hungary, by denouncing the fact that it also unfairly penalizes the Spanish driver’s supporters. The operations director, Carlos Moreno-Figueroa, indicated that he was confident and that the double world champion will not miss the race.

I call on all those who are hesitating about whether to buy a ticket, depending on Alonso’s presence at the race, to do so, because we hear from everywhere that he will indeed be present in Valencia,” he announced in the local newspaper Costa Levante News.
