With four sets of medium tires instead of three, six sets of soft tires instead of eight, and the usual two sets of hard tires.<\/p>\n<p>Alonso gave his opinion after the main race in Shanghai. \u00ab I think that more tires would be good because during FP1, it&#8217;s a game of who drives the least and uses the fewest sets of tires \u00bb. He complained about the penalty he received for his collision with the Ferrari driver, Carlos Sainz, during the first race last weekend.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s a shame for the fans,&#8221; he added. &#8220;And then the sprint, if they want it for the show and for the overtaking and you don&#8217;t let them race, it&#8217;s better not to race.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h2>Necessary adjustments<\/h2>\n<p>The next <a href=\"\/f1\/actualite\/33367-daniel-ricciardo-penalise-3-places-grille-miami-2-points-super-licence.html\" title=\"Daniel Ricciardo penalized 3 places on the grid in Miami and 2 points on his Super License\">Grand Prix in Miami<\/a> will also be a sprint weekend. For Alonso, it will be once again where the tires will be unknown.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab Ideally, you wouldn&#8217;t be riding in FP1 to preserve all tires and you wouldn&#8217;t participate in the sprint race to avoid losing penalty points on your license. Obviously, we won&#8217;t do that because we need to learn something about the car in Miami. But we still have to think, the sprint requires additional adjustments. \u00bb<\/p>\n<p>The Mercedes driver, George Russell, stated that he appreciated the modified sprint format for 2024, with the opening of the Parc Ferm\u00e9 after the sprint race and before the Grand Prix qualifying sessions, to allow teams to make configuration adjustments, even if he agrees with Alonso on the idea of increasing the tire allocation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00ab I like this format. I think the only thing that could be improved would be to change the tire rule for practice sessions. Maybe give everyone the same set of tires or the same number of tires during practice because it shouldn&#8217;t influence the rest of your weekend based on what you do in practice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For Fernando Alonso, the lack of tire sets during the sprint events means that the race weekend cannot be optimized.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":133,"featured_media":44060,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1,1749],"tags":[179,360],"class_list":["post-28684","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f1","category-news","tag-course-sprint","tag-alonso"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.2 -
