Fernando Alonso wins bid to overturn penalty for incident with Haas

Alonso had been penalised after finishing seventh in a car that had a loose mirror, which𝔉 eventually fell off.
Haas lodged a complaint at the veteran Spania𒀰rd on the grounds🔴 that he was driving unsafely.
Haas’ complaint was lodged outside of the allotted🐈 time but was upheld by the FIA anyway.
🍎Alpine then requested a right to revi🐬ew the FIA stewards’ decision.
But﷽ the FIA have now ruled in Alpine’s favour so Alonso will retain the six points꧑ he scored in Austin.
Alonso had warned ahead of the ruling: "It will open a huge problem for ♐the future in F1. I think 50, 60, 70 per cent of the cars will have to retire the car whe🎃n they have an aerodynamic device that is not properly fixed because it’s going to be unsafe, the car.
“If 20 minutes ꧒too late is okay to protest, is one month too late? Is one hour too late? Is 10 years too late? When is too late? So as I said, this is a very important day for our sport. I don’t care about seventh, you know? I’m👍 not fighting for the world championship. but if this goes ahead, I think we don’t want to open that box.”
Alonso had earlier been in a 180mph crash with 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Lance Stroll - his future teammate when they line up together in the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 2023 driver line-up.
