Alonso slams “incompetent” Miami F1 stewards after penalty
Listen to this article Alonso and his Alpine team were left infuriated by a post-race time addition penalty the double world champion received for cutting the Miami track’s tight chicane during the closing stages of F1’s most recent race. The stewards felt that in doing so Alonso gained a lasting advantage by running off-track, which he disputes. Ahead of this weekend’s Spanish GP, where Alonso was speaking in the pre-practice press conference, Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer had insisted his driver had "lifted twice, significantly" after cutting the Miami chicane while running ahead of Mick Schumacher . The penalty was Alonso’s second of the Miami race after he was also handed a five-second addition for hitting Pierre Gasly , with the second dropping him out of the points having finished eighth on the road.

(Photo: Chanat Katanyu) The newly established Sang Anakhot Thai (Building Thailand's Future) Party is standing firm that it will not join any government led by Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha, according to deputy party leader Suranand Vejjajiva.
