'You cannot apply a penalty 25 laps after the pit-stop,' Fernando Alonso believes, after his SaudiArabianGP podium was taken away after the race. F1
Fernando Alonso bemoans ‘poor show from the FIA’ after podium demotionAston Martin’s Fernando Alonso believes the stewards in Saudi Arabia had ample opportunity to let him know about a possible time penalty.
Alonso had been given a five-second time penalty early in the race, due to starting from outside his grid box at the race start. Serving this penalty under the Safety Car intervention mid-race, the rear jackman placed the jack under the car in preparation to begin work on the car when the five seconds had elapsed – a transgression of the rule which dictates no work can be carried out on a car in such a situation.
“I was on the podium, I did the pictures, did the trophy, celebrated with the champagne and yeah, now I have apparently three points less – I don’t have 15, I have 12.
