Nico Hulkenberg criticized Fernando Alonso defensive tactics during the Australian Grand Prix, particularly at Turn 6 where Alonso  actions were deemed potentially dangerous by race officials. Hulkenberg expressed concern over the narrowness of the track and the high speeds involved, believing Alonso maneuvers created a hazardous situation.

He emphasized that the corner’s layout combined with the speed and blind exit made it unsuitable for such tactics. Hulkenberg also highlighted the need for changes to the circuit layout to prevent similar incidents in the future. Additionally, he questioned Alonso initial claims of throttle issues, suggesting they contradicted his subsequent statements.

Overall, Hulkenberg was critical of Alonso actions and his handling of the situation after the race.
