Fernando Alonso felt Carlos Sainz's penalty for spinning him was 'too harsh', as he was dropped out of the points in the AusGP Full F1 story ⬇️
Aston Martin Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso reckons the late penalty handed to Ferrari's Carlos Sainz for spinning him in the Australian Grand Prix was"too harsh".
