In Bahrain's season opening race, Alpine driver Ocon was penalised for incorrectly positioning his car in his grid slot. The same thing happened to Aston Martin's Alonso in Saudi Arabia, as the Spaniard was given a five-second time penalty for starting too far to the left of his box.
Verstappen sympathised with Alonso and Ocon because the lack of visibility from the current crop of cars makes lining up for the correct grid spot hard to do.
