De la crisis de los misiles a la noche más tensa para la F1
Muchas emociones y sensaciones encontradas en la noche más tensa que recuerda la Fórmula 1. Un misil de los insurgentes hutíes de Yemen cayó a 15 kilómetros del GP de Arabia Saudí e incendió las instalaciones de la petrolera Aramco. La columna de humo ocupa ahora el cielo de Yeda y el inabarcable fuego seguirá varios días. A pesar del incidente, la F1 y FIA se apresuraron a confirmar que el evento era «seguro», según las autoridades saudíes. Pero los pilotos, que no estaban de acuerdo, se reunieron anoche durante cuatro horas en el hospitality de FOM y debatieron sobre los próximos pasos. Al final abandonaron el circuito alrededor de las 2:30, hora local, la mayoría por la puerta de atrás. No hubo declaraciones, eso acordaron, si bien AS pudo charlar con Fernando Alonso y conocer sus impresiones tras una intensa y larga reunión.
