Drivers meets member of the public shock!
|
There was panic outside the Renault motorhome in Barcelona on Saturday, when Formula One World Champion, Fernando Alonso, came into contact with a member of the public. The incident happened as Alonso was making his way from the garage to the safety of the motorhome, when a fan, believed to be a nine year old boy, approached the Spaniard to ask for an autograph. A team spokesman told us today: “Fernando was quite shaken by the incident, it is not within his contract to meet ordinary people, and we call upon the FIA to introduce measures to stop this sort of thing from happening again.” A clearly shaken Alonso, recently stung by criticism from Bernie Ecclestone that he does not do much for F1, was later able to leave the circuit following a brief check-up in the medical centre. The FIA's chief medical delegate, Professor Sid Watkins said: “Formula One drivers are a delicate breed, and meeting common people is just not good for them. “In the olden days, F1 drivers used to meet ordinary people nearly every weekend, thankfully things are much safer for them these days.”   |
