The FIA Stewards have rejected the Right of Review request Aston Martin lodged in response to Fernando Alonso’s penalty in
During the race, Alonso attempted to overtake Sainz, resulting in contact that led to a puncture and his retirement. As a result, Alonso received a 10-second time drop and accumulated three penalty points on his license. Aston Martin requested a review of the incident, but the stewards found that the new evidence provided was not sufficient to change the original decision. Alonso expressed his disagreement with the penalties imposed on him in recent races, stating that differences in opinion are common in sports. The stewards concluded that the existing footage available during the race was enough to uphold their initial decision, despite the additional evidence presented later on in the review process.
