Press comments on the F1 “chaos”
Red Bull’s second ‘feat’, Alonso in ‘utter madness’

Red Bull also seems unbeatable in the Formula 1 season that has just started, old master Fernando Alonso is only slowed down by the stewards – before the big rule chaos breaks out. The international press finds clear words on both.

Mexican Sergio Pérez clinched his first Formula 1 win of the season in Saudi Arabia.
