And then the other teams copy and they eventually get to that level or they ban that thing that was allowed for one or two races.”Alonso cited the Ferrari engine saga of 2019 – the Italian team came to a private settlement with the FIA over the legality of their machinery, before their performance dropped rapidly the following year. “Ferrari won I think two races in 2019 with something we all knew was not legal and nothing happened,” said Alonso who was absent from F1 in 2019. “They kept those wins. It’s quite amazing. “Imagine that they won the championship in 2019 with that engine. It is very difficult and we need to rely on the people who have the power and trust them.”Related Vettel warns Aston Martin: “Winning doesn’t guarantee you will win again” Vettel: Hamilton and Alonso were my ‘toughest’ F1 rivalsMax Verstappen has called Red Bull’s rivals “hypocritical” for their views on the cost cap row.Valtteri Bottas, whose Mercedes teammate Lewis Hamilton lost the title to Verstappen last year at the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, was particularly vocal in his criticism.
