Fernando Alonso wins bid to overturn penalty for incident with Haas

Alonso had been penalised after finishing seventhꩲ in ꦯa car that had a loose mirror, which eventually fell off.
Haas lodged a complaint at the veteran Spaniard on the grounds that he was driving🐟🔴 unsafely.
Haas’ complaint was lodged outside of the allotted time but was upheld by the FIA any🍌way.
Alpine then requested a right to review the FIA sꩲtewards’ decision.
But the FIA have now ruled in Alpine’s favour so Alonso will retain the six p💫oints he scored in Austin.
Alonso had warned ahead of the ruling: "It will open a huge problem for the future in F1. I think 50, 60, 70 per cent of the cars will have to retire the car when they have an aerodynamic device that is n🐲ot properly fixed because it’s going to be unsafe, the car.
“If 20 minutes too late is okay to protest, is one month too late? Is one hour too late? Is 10 years too late? When is too late? So as I said, this is a very important day for our sport. I don’t care about seventh, you know? I’m not fighting for the world championship. but if this goes ahead, I think we♉ don’t want to open that box.”
