Fernando Alonso warned that the FIA’s decision on Alpine’s protest would have implications on Formula One’s future.
The Spaniard was dealt a post-race penalty stemming from a Haas protest that dropped him from a seventh-place finish to 15th at the U.S. Grand Prix this weekend. Despite being sent airborne from a collision with future teammate Lance Stroll, Alonso was able to finish the race, but his car was damaged. His right-wing mirror ended up falling off his car several laps later.
Haas filed a protest after the race about how he drove an unsafe vehicle, and the FIA then agreed despite Alonso not being shown a black and orange flag during the race.
