      ‘That’s f***ing dangerous’ say F1 fans as Fernando Alonso’s steering wheel FALLS OFF as he approaches corner in Bahrain

      by

      FERNANDO ALONSO had a dangerous incident during the Formula One Bahrain Grand Prix after his steering wheel FELL OFF mid lap.The bizarre moment came during the second practice session on Friday.Fernando Alonso’s steering wheel came off during the Bahrain GPCredit: F1The team ended up replacing the whole steering columnCredit: F1Just two laps into the session, the Spaniard’s steering wheel display went blank and moments later, detached from the steering column it had been attached to.Stunned by the malfunction, Alonso said over the team radio: “Change the steering wheel. There’s a problem with the steering wheel; it’s switching off.”Alonso had slowed down when seeing the issue as he approached the end of the lap, but after his wheel detached he ended up running wide into the ran-off area while frantically trying to reconnect it.He was fortunately able to do so and return to the pits unscathed, before his team took the car in to figure out what the problem was.READ MORE IN F1As it turned out, the problem was far more serious than the steering wheel itself, with the team taking 15 minutes to completely change the steering column before sending Alonso back out.The issue prompted an unexpected visit from FIA technical delegate, Jo Bauer, though no further explanation of the visit has been given thus far.Fans were also shocked at the incident, with one saying on social media: “Oh hell nah, this is everyone nightmares.”A second said: “Big yikes.”Most read in MotorsportBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UKA third added: “That’s f***ing dangerous.”Speaking after the session, two-time F1 World Champion, said: “Yeah, the car [was] not working, and I could not shift gears at one point, so yeah, I had a dash off.’A pretty expensive poo!’ – Carlos Sainz risks ANOTHER fine for X-rated rant as he protests £17,000 toilet break penalty”So, I could not communicate with the team either, and yeah, in the last corner the wheel was off. “So yeah, we realised that maybe the steering column of the wheel or something had a problem. The mechanics quickly changed the parts and everything was fine.”So yeah, a moment there, but thanks to everyone in the garage to fix it quite fast.”Alonso ended up coming 15th in the session, paving the way for what looks set to be another tough weekend for the Aston Martin.The ex-McLaren, Renault and Ferrari driver said: “I think it’s going to be a tough weekend, unfortunately, we seem not to have the pace before coming here.”The characteristics of Bahrain was a little bit of a concern for us, for our package, and yeah, probably we confirm today that we are not competitive. “It’s going to be a tough weekend, but we will try to learn. We will try to push, and we are not giving up.” Read More on The SunAlonso is one of five drivers – Pierre Gasly, Liam Lawson, Jack Doohan and Gabriel Bortoleto – yet to score points this year, while team-mate Lance Stroll has bagged 10 points.Elsewhere, FP2 was topped by McLaren’s Oscar Piastri, leading from team-mate Lando Norris and Mercedes’ George Russell.

      Max Verstappen tipped to receive ‘offer he can’t refuse’ and leave Red Bull after dominating F1

      MAX VERSTAPPEN has been tipped to quit Red Bull after dominating Formula One.Verstappen has won four world drivers titles on the spin in F1, putting him level with just five other drivers to have reached the figure.Max Verstappen has been tipped to leave Red Bull with an ‘offer he can’t refuse’Credit: GettySeven-time F1 race winner Juan Pablo Montoya believes Aston Martin will poach VerstappenCredit: GettyHe believes the move to land F1 designer Adrian Newey will be key to the dealCredit: ReutersHowever, Red Bull’s dominance in the sport has massively waned since the start of last season, with the Milton Keynes outfit now the third or fourth fastest car on the grid behind McLaren, Ferrari and Mercedes.The 2025 season is the final season of the current regulations before a changeover in 2026, and Verstappen has now been tipped to leave Red Bull for a new challenge with his contract expiring at the end of 2026.Former F1 star Juan Pablo Montoya believes that destination could well be Aston Martin, owned by billionaire businessman Lawrence Stroll.Aston Martin have been busy setting up for the upcoming 2026 season with the arrival of legendary F1 designer Adrian Newey, who they poached from Red Bull.READ MORE IN F1His expertise is one of the biggest reasons why Verstappen, whose Red Bull contract expires at the end of 2026, was so dominant – like Sebastian Vettel was before him.But seven-time Grand Prix winner Montoya believes the 27-year-old will look to rekindle that partnership, but only if the team submit a huge offer for him.A sensational report in January claimed Aston Martin were preparing a £1BILLION deal to land Verstappen, however, the team categorically denied this claim.Speaking to Vision4Sport, where you can enquire about exclusive packages to the world’s best sporting events, Montoya said: “I think Max will get an offer he can’t refuse from Aston Martin.Most read in MotorsportBEST ONLINE CASINOS – TOP SITES IN THE UK”He might give Red Bull a chance for a year and a chance for Adrian to start figuring it out.”Adrian can’t do that immediately. It’s a new whole group, and everyone needs to start working together.Why snapping up Adrian Newey is such a coup for Aston Martin“Are they going to be better than where they are next year? For sure. But I don’t think they’re going to start winning a string of races.“But if Red Bull struggles in year one, then it wouldn’t surprise me if by race three, Max has already signed with somebody else.“If I were Max, I would go to Aston. Mercedes would be cool, too, but Aston would be the logical choice, having Adrian and Honda. Everything he has won with is there.”Montoya also reckons Aston Martin will open up a new spot at the team for Fernando Alonso to become an ambassador and replace him with Verstappen.He added: “If Verstappen joined Aston Martin, Fernando Alonso will retire and become an ambassador for life for the company.“Fernando would be pissed off to a point, but it’s the right choice. If you take Lance out of the equation, then you lose Lawrence.“And if you lose Lawrence, you lose everything. You lose Aston Martin, and then there’s no Max coming.“If bringing Max would mean that Lawrence would have to sacrifice Lance, that would be the wrong choice for the team.Read More on The Sun“If they forced Lawrence to do that. I think he would say, ‘Okay, here’s the team. Over to you. Let’s just sell the team, I’m not interested.’”Verstappen will have a new team-mate in Yuki Tsunoda for this weekend’s Japanese Grand Prix after Christian Horner and Co. axed Liam Lawson after two disastrous race weekends.
