Overview

• Alonso finished seventh after Lewis Hamilton was handed a five‑second penalty for exceeding track limits, having trailed the Ferrari by about four tenths at the flag.
• A slow pit stop dropped him to around 15th before a soft‑to‑medium strategy fueled a late charge through the field at Marina Bay.
• Over team radio he snapped at his engineer, warning, “If you speak to me every lap I will disconnect the radio.”
• He criticized perceived FIA leniency and raised safety concerns tied to Hamilton’s reported brake issues and corner‑cutting, telling DAZN that drivers must stay on track even with problems.
• After F1’s channels highlighted his radio while TV missed his duel with Hamilton, Alonso mocked the broadcast on X, as reactions poured in from Isack Hadjar (“grumpy”), Damon Hill (“Got to love him”), and fans who voted him Driver of the Day.
