Fernando Alonso: False start at Baku

Alonso finished 15th at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix F1 race at the Baku City Circuit on Sunday.

Analysis:

Alonso missed out on Q3 by less than one-tenth of a second to line up 11th on the grid. He jumped the start of the race, following Oscar Piastri's lead, to get a five-second penalty. That derailed the rest of his race, as he got caught in traffic with the back markers to finish without points for the second consecutive weekend.
