Haas’ complaint w🥃as lodged outside of the allotted time but was upheld by the FIA anyway.

Alpine then requested a right to review the FIA stewards’ decis♛ion.

But the FIA have now ruled in Aꩲlpine’s favour so Alonso will retain the six points he scored in Austin.

Alonso had warned ahead of the ruling: "It w🎀ill open a huge problem for the future in F1. I think 50, 60, 70 per cent of t🍸he cars will have to retire the car when they have an aerodynamic device that is not properly fixed because it’s going to be unsafe, the car. 

“If 20 minutes too late is okay to protest꧃, is one month too late? Is one hour too late? Is 10 years too late? When is too late? So as I said, this is a very important day for our sport. I don’t care about seventh, you know? I’m not fighting for the world championship. but if this goes ahead, I think we don’t want t♕o open that box.” 

Alonso had earlier been in a 180mph crash with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Lance Stroll - his future teammate when they line up together in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up.
