The pilot of the Aston Martin team, Fernando Alonso, returned to third place in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, according to the Formula 1 website.

The Spaniard finished third behind Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen (both Red Bull). However, Alonso was penalized 10 seconds after the finish for not properly serving the five-second penalty given to him for failing to line up within his grid before the start of the race. As a result, British Mercedes driver George Russell rose to third place in the protocol.

The fine was issued after video footage emerged showing a rear jack briefly touching the back of Alonso’s car while serving a pit stop penalty. The stewards of the race saw in the moment of touching the jack a violation of the Formula 1 regulations, which states that “while the car is in the pit stop as a result of a fine, it cannot be worked with until the time of the penalty has expired.”

However, Aston Martin proved that there is no “clear agreement between the parties that touching the jack on the car will be tantamount to working on it.”

The podium at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was Alonso’s 100th career.
