Aston Martin has filed a petition to review the penalty imposed on Fernando Alonso during the Chinese Grand Prix Sprint race for his collision with Carlos Sainz. Alonso and Sainz made contact multiple times, with Alonso’s attempt to overtake pushing both cars wide and resulting in a puncture for Alonso and damage for Sainz. The penalty assigned to Alonso included a 10-second time penalty and three penalty points on his Super License. This brings Alonso’s total penalty points to six in the last 12 months, with the possibility of a one-race ban if he collects six more before March next year. The review process will start with an initial hearing via videoconference in Miami where the presence of new and relevant evidence will be assessed. If deemed necessary, a second hearing will be held to reconsider the penalty decision, with interested parties allowed to participate. Ferrari has also been called to the initial hearing regarding this incident.
