Aston Martin lodged an appeal of Fernando Alonso’s penalty from the Chinese Grand Prix earlier this week.
The FIA stewards have rejected Aston Martin’s appeal for Fernando Alonso’s penalty at the Chinese Grand Prix, where he received a 10-second time penalty and three penalty points on his super licence for an incident with Carlos Sainz during the sprint race. Despite providing new footage of the incident, the stewards deemed it not significant enough to warrant a review of the decision. Alonso, feeling unfairly penalized, expressed frustration over the ruling and hinted at a potential bias against him. The stewards’ decision was upheld after a further incident involving Alonso and other drivers at the Miami Grand Prix. Alonso’s discontent with the FIA’s handling of the situation was evident as he sought clarification from FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem.
