Fernando Alonso and Alpine are that trill. The FIA’s 30-second sanction on the Asturian driver after a protest by the Haas team about the safety of his car derailed the impressive performance of the two-time world champion, a situation that caused the French team to complain.
“The team acted fairly and felt the car remained structurally safe as a result of Fernando’s incident with Lance Stroll. The FIA reserves the right to display a black and orange flag on a car during a race if it deems it unsafe and, on this occasion, it examined the car and decided not to do so. In addition, after the race, the FIA technical delegate considered that the car was in good condition “they lamented at Alpine after learning of the penalty.

The outrage is even greater after seeing the different standards applied by the FIA in 2019 to Lewis Hamiltonwhich he was not penalized despite losing his right rear-view mirror in the race.

This time, the FIA’s technical chiefs told the stewards that it was not safe to drive the car with a moving rear-view mirror and that it fell.
“A car should be in safe conditions throughout the race, and in this case, car 14 (Alonso) was not.“, the administrators said in a statement. “This is a responsibility of the Alpine team.”
A 30-second penalty dropped Fernando Alonso from 7th to 15th placelost 6 points gained on the track.
