Alonso worried about tyre choice for China
Renault F1 Team driver Fernando Alonso is worried about tyre supplier Bridgestone's decision to bring supersoft compounds as the option tyre for the Chinese Grand Prix. Alonso believes that the use of the tyre makes the drivers "look ridiculous" as there was a time difference of six seconds between the super-soft and hard tyres at Australia.
Alonso said to reporters in the Shanghai paddock: "I think it is the worst decision they made in a long time, because it is a ridiculous tyre for Shanghai.
"I don't know if Bridgestone made the decision or the FIA, but they have to reconsider this type of decision because we look ridiculous on television and we look ridiculous for the spectators, and it is a joke to be in front of TV six seconds slower. I'm very worried about this and I'm very sad about this, because we look strange in front of people."
