Fernando Alonso was frustrated by the stewards' decision not to penalise Lewis Hamilton for their Lap 1 incident in Miami.

The two-time world champion was already frustrated by the F1 stewards heading into this weekend after he picked up a 10-second time penalty in the Chinese Grand Prix sprint race.

Speaking to DAZN after the sprint race in Miami, Alonso said: “We'll see what they decide. I guess they won't decide anything, because he's not Spanish. Alonso revealed that he didn’t risk overtaking Esteban Ocon to avoid potentially being penalised again.“Today the same thing. I was behind Ocon, I could maybe take a risk and overtake him, but logically I don't take the risk to avoid being penalised.

Alonso continued his frustration by labelling the sprint race “a free practice” to prepare for qualifying for the grand prix.
