F1 has 'different rules for different people', says Alonso

Alonso said he deliberately used the run-off area at the first corner in Sochi to avoid a bottleneck and gain places through late braking to see the kind of questions he would face at the next race in Istanbul

Double Formula One world champion Fernando Alonso on October 7 suggested that some drivers were being treated differently to others when it came to track behaviour during races.

The Spaniard told reporters at the Turkish Grand Prix that the fact he was being asked about an incident at the previous race in Russia proved his point.

Alonso deliberately used the run-off area at the first corner in Sochi to avoid a bottleneck and gain places through late braking, complying with the rules because he rejoined behind the driver he had followed into the corner. He said he had done it just to see the questions in Istanbul.
