The FIA will review rules on mechanics touching F1 cars in pitstops, following the controversy on Fernando Alonso's rescinded penalty in the SaudiArabianGP Full story ⬇️
Alonso had initially been handed a post-race 10-second drop after a late ruling from the FIA judged that he had not correctly served an in-race penalty for starting out of his grid box.
On the last lap of the race, the stewards were asked to look at video of the incident and they believed that the rear jack had touched Alonso’s car before the time was up. However, following discussions with Aston Martin, the team argued that there was no strict definition in the rules regarding touching the car, as regulations state simply that mechanics cannot work on it before the penalty is served.
A statement issued by the FIA said:"The request to the Stewards for review of the initial decision was made in the last lap of the race.
