Before the start of a new F1 season, teams get to test their cars at pre-season testing. Every team gets three days, which includes six sessions to test their car. Moreover, the sessions are divided equally between the drivers of the team. This concludes that every driver will only get one and a half days to be prepared for the upcoming season.
It has always been controversial about the duration given by the FIA. Looking at the current scenario of pre-season testing, Fernando Alonso isn’t happy and releases a statement.

Fernando Alonso on the duration of pre-season testing said:
“I have been thinking all winter about how unfair it is that we only have one day and a half to prepare for a World Championship.”
Undoubtedly, Alonso isn’t happy with the duration of the pre-season testing. An F1 driver only gets one day and a half to adapt to the car in which they will be racing throughout the season. It is one of the things that is unfair in Formula 1.
