Stewards said big lift, tap of the brake, downshift. Then up shift with a bit of acceleration before braking properly for the corner. Alonso admitted he “just got it wrong” and was trying to just get a better exit for the straight. So because of that acceptance (and that’s the didn’t do that at any other time in the race) theyve given the penalty.Alonso was penalised 20s race time for the incident that caused Russell to crash.
Definitely sounded like a lift from Alonso going into the apex, which closed George right up. Certainly compared to the on boards from the lap before it was obvious there was a deceleration that didn't happen previously.
