Fernando Alonso misses rain in Formula 1 races. Over the last years, the Asturian has seen that for security reasons He has barely competed when he has rained to pitchers And an unequivocal symptom of this is that Extreme rain tires have not been used In the whole season the only employees being when the track is wet.
The pilot, who has been in the Formula 1 Since 2001, He has enjoyed the evolution of a competition that is now much safer than before with the introduction of the halo and other elements that safeguard pilots in serious accidents. However, this obsession of the FIA with security has left fans in recent years without careers with Rain and Fernando Alonso understands that decision to some extent.
«Probably since 2017, with that regulation and wide tires, visibility is worse. But it is a really difficult issue. We all want to compete. If we are alone on the track, we can run, no problem. If you are in a group of cars, you can't see anything, ”Fernando Alonso complained after a 2025 Belgium Grand Configure the rain for rain.
The Bicampeón del Mundo believes that the problem The FIA has generated it and it seems that the solution will not be simple to find until the dimensions of the cars that have grown not only in tires, but in dimensions. «We had, unfortunately, too much bad examples, especially in spa, of bad visibility and very serious accidents. We all want to be brave, we all want to compete, and spectators at home too »he said.
The last bad memory
Fernando Alonso, however, does not want to openly criticize the FIA because the regulations are what is and he also does not have the power to change it although he would like the races with rain to return. «Then, when an accident occurs, we remember that there is nothing wrong with half an hour more. Unfortunately, things are so, ”he said resigned about an increasingly lost discipline.
Since he entered Liberty average to the property of Formula 1, the security measures have shot in the competition until losing to some extent the essence of the races. It is true that the last accident that a death was charged in Formula 1 was the one that starred Jules Bianchi In the 2014 Japan Grand Prix and that is why respect for rain is more than present.
Formula 1 must do something on your part for the show to return to rain races and not limit them to intermediate tires. The purity of the competition has been lost to some extent and Fernando Alonso knows very well what he speaks when he compares things with the past.
