Fernando Alonso may have celebrated his 100th rostrum appearance in F1 at the 2023 Saudi Arabian Grand Prix – but the joy was short-lived, after the stewards handed him a 10-second penalty after the race that dropped him to P4.

Well, let F1 TV presenter Alex Brundle explain all…

Fernando Alonso hit out at the FIA after a post-race 10-second time penalty temporarily demoted him from third to fourth at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, ...

Alonso was extremely critical of the sport's governing body, telling Sky Sports F1 after the race: "I was on the podium, I did pictures, I took the trophy, I celebrated and now I have apparently three points less. "Today, we didn't put on a good show for our fans. They had enough time to inform about the penalty. No advantage came from it." You cannot apply a penalty 35 laps after the pit stop.

Despite finishing in P3 in Sunday's Saudi Arabian Grand Prix at Jeddah Corniche Circuit — and partaking in the podium celebration along with Sergio Pérez and ...

And as Alonso himself stated after the Grand Prix, “[w]hen you have 35 laps to apply the penalty and you wait until after the podium, there is something wrong in the system.” “In the circumstances, we considered that our original decision to impose a penalty on Car 14 needed to be reversed and we did so accordingly.” This was likely the correct result, but the bigger question might be this: Why did it take so long for Alonso and Aston Martin to be told this was even a possibility? While the team believed they were “in the clear,” they wanted to be as safe as possible. The race went on, and Alonso maintained his spot in third place behind the Red Bull duo. When a safety car came out after his teammate Lance Stroll suffered a failure, Alonso served that five-second penalty during his pit stop.

Fernando Alonso has been reinstated to third position at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix to cap a farcical couple of hours which followed the podium ceremony.

"This topic will therefore be addressed at the next Sporting Advisory Committee taking place on Thursday, 23 March, and a clarification will be issued ahead of the 2023 FIA Formula 1 Australian Grand Prix. An FIA statement said: "The request to the Stewards for review of the initial decision (Document 51) was made in the last lap of the race. The subsequent decision of the stewards to hear and grant the Right of Review by the Competitor was the result of new evidence regarding the definition of 'working on the car', for which there were conflicting precedents, and this has been exposed by this specific circumstance.

El piloto español fue sancionado con 10 segundos, pero el equipo apeló la penalización y FIA decidió restaurar la tercera posición del Aston Martin.

Estos chicos han hecho un coche fantástico. El genial piloto asturiano, que había subido al podio antes de conocer la sanción rectificada por la FIA, es tercero en el Mundial, pero con 30 puntos, en vez de 27; mientras que el inglés George Russell (Mercedes) -una vez re-calculada la general- pasa a ser sexto, con 18.

Todo era felicidad para Fernando Alonso, que en Arabia Saudita había alcanzado los 100 podios, pero... una penalización de última hora lo dejó cuarto.

Esta, según le comunicó el equipo británico, la cumplirían en la primera parada en boxes. Los oficiales de la F1 lo penalizaron con 10 segundos y de esta manera cayó al cuarto lugar.

Fernando Alonso criticó a la FIA tras anunciar el castigo que le quitó el podio en Arabia Saudita por no servir de manera correcta su penalización.

Debido a eso, Alonso terminó llevándose a casa el trofeo de la P3 y un histórico podio número 100. A pesar de la sanción, Alonso se mostró positivo por la sensación dentro del auto. I enjoyed the podium!" Recordar que mientras un piloto cumple un castigo en los pits, ningún mecánico o herramienta puede tocar el auto. "I feel great... Lamentablemente, uno de los mecánicos habría tocado el AMR23 de Fernando instantes antes de cumplir los 5 segundos.

La FIA retira la sanción de diez segundos a Alonso y vuelve al tercer puesto en Arabia Saudí. Con ello, el asturiano alcanza la cifra de 100 podios en la ...

El equipo británico sirvió correctamente la parada, ya que en el reglamento no indica que no se pueda tocar el monoplaza, y el asturiano es devuelto a la posición de podio. "Estoy contento de volver a casa en cuarta posición, pero creo que la penalización a Fernando ha sido bastante dura. El propio Fernando Alonso reaccionó a la penalización asegurando que: "Creo que es más un mal espectáculo de la FIA hoy. Tuvieron tiempo suficiente para informar de la penalización". Podio número 100 para el de Aston Martin y se consolida en el tercer puesto del campeonato. Este significaba el segundo podio consecutivo con el equipo Aston Martin en dos carreras esta temporada.

Alonso was on the podium, then he was booted off for a penalty, then he was whisked back on, taking third place and earning his 100th Formula 1 podium.

[Martin Brundle in the commentary box](https://jalopnik.com/martin-brundle-asking-megan-thee-stallion-for-an-f1-rap-1847930639) started explaining that it could all be to do with the way Alonso served his penalty.

La FIA cedió y Alonso recuperó su bronce.> La FIA va a cambiar las normas para evitar que se repita la novela vivida con él el domingo tras el Gran Premio de Arabia Saudita. [George Russell](https://www.gpfans.com/es/pilotos-de-f1/george-russell/) de [Mercedes](https://www.gpfans.com/es/equipos-de-f1/mercedes-amg-petronas/) debido a una intervención de los comisarios, que habían determinado que una penalización anterior no se había producido. El asturiano fue castigado al comienzo de la carrera por comenzar demasiado a la izquierda de su posición en la parrilla, y se detuvo durante cinco segundos después de detenerse para cambiar neumáticos detrás del auto de seguridad. [Fernando Alonso](https://www.gpfans.com/es/pilotos-de-f1/fernando-alonso/) provocará cambios en el reglamento de la Fórmula 1. [ horas después lo recuperó.](https://www.gpfans.com/es/f1-noticias/103846/alonso-vence-a-la-fia-y-se-queda-con-el-podio-de-jeddah/) Esto provocó un gran bochorno en el deporte por la interpretación de los códigos.

El piloto de Aston Martin catalogó todo lo vivido como una situación verdaderamente triste, antes de saber que le devolvían el podio cinco horas después.

Creo que el espectáculo mostrado hoy no es bueno para el deporte. Una sanción 31 vueltas después, sin opción a reacción, por el roce de un gato trasero con el coche mientras realizaba una primera sanción. Fernando, perro viejo en los tratos de la FIA, era plenamente consciente que a los comisarios no les gusta admitir errores, y la experiencia le decía que iban a tratar de justificarse como fuese para mantener la sanción. no luce bien para el deporte.”, afirmó Fernando Alonso. Pero mientras sonaba el himno en honor al ganador, se conoció que la FIA aplicaba una sanción a Fernando Alonso por algo acontecido en la vuelta 19 de carrera. Quedaba un hilo de esperanza, y es que Aston Martin le dijo a Alonso que creían que había base para protestar y que se le devolviera al podio.

Fernando Alonso's 100th F1 career podium will be remembered for the bizarre sequence of events which followed it. Here's how it all unfolded and why there ...

Aston Martin was granted its right to review after sending both the minutes of the SAC meeting and video evidence of seven different instances where a jack had touched a car during a penalty similar to the one Alonso served during the race which were not penalised. It was hoped this had cleared the matter up, but based on its own interpretation of what was actually written in the rules and backed up by previous examples of time penalties being served at pit stops, Aston Martin did not believe that a jack touching the car constituted work taking place. It was only on the final lap that race control had shared a new report with the stewards stating that ROC now did not think the penalty had been properly observed and requesting a full stewards' investigation. Alonso served his penalty at his pit stop on lap 18, during a safety car period triggered by the retirement of his teammate Lance Stroll. F1's sporting regulations dictate that five-second time penalties must be served at the driver's next pit stop, with the clock starting once the car has become stationary and mechanics waiting five seconds before starting work on the car. A yellow line is painted to the right-hand side of the white grid markings to give drivers a visual reference of how far forward they are in their slot, but lining up between the lines relies entirely on the driver's approach to their position.

Durante el Gran Premio de Arabia Saudita de la Fórmula 1, el piloto Fernando Alonso recibió una sanción de 10 segundos que finalmente la FIA echó pie atrás.

Además, el equipo ha incidido que el hecho de tocar el coche con el gato significa "trabajar" en el coche, que es lo que especifica el Artículo 54.4 (c) del Reglamento Deportivo. Esto provocó una nueva sanción de diez segundos, que fue oficializada después de la ceremonia protocolaria de la carrera. Esto, luego que el piloto español Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin), sufrió una penalización de diez segundos que le costó bajar del tercer al cuarto lugar.

Aston Martin F1 driver Fernando Alonso had his 100th podium party interrupted in Saudi Arabia after a penalty momentarily knocked him out.

As the outlet wrote, once “[a]fter an engine issue forced him to park up at the side of the track in qualifying, Alonso grabbed a lawn chair belonging to a nearby track marshal and sat sunbathing, watching the rest of the session and posing for the TV cameras.” I was on the podium, I did the pictures, I took the trophy, I celebrated with the Champagne. Alonso is now just the sixth driver to take 100 Grand Prix podiums in F1 history. “I am happy in the end with the result tonight and our second podium [of the season],” Alonso said when both the confetti and controversy had settled. But when Aston Martin appealed the decision, further review of video taken during the pit stop indicated to all parties that evidence was inconclusive. [slapped with a 10-second penalty](https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.breaking-alonso-loses-p3-and-100th-f1-podium-after-receiving-10s-penalty-in.4QbFJtlN8sUWqQXt4jJmmR.html) shortly after he popped a Champagne bottle and posed for pictures on the podium, alongside respective first- and second-place finishers Sergio Pérez and Max Verstappen, both of Red Bull.

The race at Jeddah was won by Red Bull's Sergio Pérez ahead of his teammate Max Verstappen but Alonso delivered another superb drive to seal third for Aston ...

The FIA admitted the events had exposed an ambiguity in the rules that had to be addressed. A clarification will then be issued before the Australian Grand Prix which is held in Melbourne in two weeks. They awarded a 10-second penalty long after Alonso had already celebrated on the podium, dropping him from third to fourth.
