This had the effect of destabilising Russell and was considered to be unsporting.
Yep, after my initial comment i saw a video on Youtube with the onboard and telemetry of Alonsos previous lap compared to the final lap and he was around 30 kmh slower at the apex on the accident lap than the previous lap.

It also shows that he had a throttle issue although i dont know if that had any effect, cant see that it did tbh because why did he brake twice before the turn on that last lap?
