This is fucking cruel from Alpine but didn’t Gasly know about the penalty during the red flag they kept replaying him looking pissed and throwing a towel. Also he would’ve gone to the start/finish straight for the podium and not the pitlane post race https://t.co/F71f1bL7SN

Several drivers were pinged, which seemingly was due to drivers cutting (unclear if both entry/exit). The @fia warned everyone to not do it. #F1 | @MsportXtra https://t.co/D0mcm97gW8
