During the Miami Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso accused Lewis Hamilton of reckless driving, suggesting that Hamilton's actions in a first-corner incident went unpunished due to bias in Formula 1 stewarding. Alonso, who believes that his Spanish nationality influences how penalties are assigned to him, expressed his concerns about the inconsistency in F1's penalty decisions, noting that a Danish driver received multiple penalties in the same race. He highlighted a specific incident where Hamilton, allegedly out of control, avoided a penalty which Alonso claims would have been issued to him under similar circumstances. Alonso plans to discuss this issue with the FIA president, emphasizing that 'nationality matters' in these decisions. Meanwhile, Max Verstappen won the fiery sprint race.
