Alonso, who was on a flying lap, said this: “Yeah, I mean the Ferrari destroyed my lap,”

“From turn 11 to turn 16 I had the Ferrari in front of me …. so yeah, that place should be ours.”

In a post-interview, Alonso complained and even measured the chances of a penalty. He said, “I think there are going to be safety cars and opportunities. We’ll see how many penalty positions they put on the Ferrari, although I think we’ll start 11th.”

Clearly, Alonso was not happy with whatever happened and wants to look into it. Meanwhile, Sainz, who has finished P2, has given Ferrari a dream end. After terrible luck and even crashing out once in the Miami practice session, the Spaniard has managed a brilliant run.

With a Ferrari 1-2, can we expect the race to be more thrilling than every other GP that we have witnessed this season?
