Fernando Alonso has had a dig at today’s “young drivers”, saying they are “not well prepared” after he raced his way to sixth in the heat at Paul Ricard.

Lining up seventh on the grid, Alonso got the jump on McLaren’s Lando Norris as well as George Russell.

But while he wasn’t able to keep the Mercedes behind him, he did Norris to take his second top-six finish in three races.

The driver, who now holds the record for the most laps in F1 history, also took the time to have a little dig at Formula 1’s younger generation.
