Alpine confirmed late Thursday night that the FIA stewards decided to reverse Fernando Alonso’s penalty, handing him back his seventh place finish at the United States Grand Prix.
He also receives his six points back, but this outcome came with an interesting twist.
Last weekend, Haas filed a protest following the U.S. Grand Prix regarding the Spaniard’s car, and the stewards ruled Sunday evening that it was driven in an unsafe condition. Alonso and Lance Stroll collided during the race, and while the Alpine driver was able to finish, his car was damaged. His right-wing mirror eventually fell off his car several laps later.
