Alpine has won its bid to have Fernando Alonso's United States GP penalty revoked - meaning the Spaniard moves back to P7 in the results. Full story: F1
Haas lodged a protest against Alonso’s car following the race in Austin on Sunday on the grounds that his car was unsafe due to a loose and ultimately missing its right mirror, following damage sustained in the crash with Lance Stroll.
Alpine’s protest claimed that Alonso had not been informed by race control that his car was damaged, and also argued that Haas had submitted its protest 24 minutes after the deadline. Haas claimed it had been told by the FIA that it had an hour to submit the protest as it was not possible to meet the initial deadline.
Alpine also argued that it was not until the hearing on Sunday night in Austin that it found out Haas had been told by race control, again making it a new and significant element of evidence. Alpine said in a statement that it “thanks the FIA stewards for convening and reaching a positive conclusion on the matter involving Car #14 from last weekend’s United States Grand Prix.”
