Aston Martin Formula 1 driver, Spanish racer Fernando Alonso, shared his thoughts on the incident involving a battle with British driver George Russell from Mercedes during the Australian Grand Prix.

The 42-year-old two-time world champion said that he was preoccupied with the condition of his own car.

I was focusing in front of me and not behind. I had some issues for the last 15 laps or something on the battery, on the deployment. I was struggling a little bit at the end of the race, but, I cannot focus on the cars behind. But he's okay, apparently. I saw the car and I was very worried.
