After a collision with Carlos Sainz during the Sprint at the Chinese Grand Prix, Fernando Alonso has accumulated more penalty points, bringing his total to six in a 12-month period. Alonso was running second but lost his spot to Max Verstappen and was driving defensively to maintain a top-three position. The stewards deemed Alonso responsible for the collision with Sainz, resulting in a 10-second time penalty and three penalty points. Despite retiring due to a puncture, the penalty points could potentially lead to an automatic one-race ban with twelve points. Alonso argued that Sainz was at fault for not giving him enough room during their fight on the track. Although disappointed with the outcome, Alonso found the racing experience enjoyable.
