Alpine F1 Team Fernando Alonso was penalized with an additional 5 seconds after the F1 Miami GP race and lost his 9th place finish.
Fernando Alonso, who had already been penalized for a five-second collision with Pierre Guthrie, was demoted to ninth place after his teammate Esteban Ocon after receiving a checker in eighth place.
However, after the race, he was penalized for another 5 seconds for gaining a permanent advantage off course on turn 14, and was finally demoted to 11th place.
As a result, Alex Albon (Williams) moved up to 9th and Lance Stroll (Aston Martin) moved up to 10th.
In addition, Fernando Alonso also had one penalty point, totaling five points.
Fenando Alonso, who lost time to Pierre Guthrie due to a late pit stop, said he apologized to Guthrie for the crash mistake.
“It was a tough race on our part. We went very aggressive at the start and moved up four to five places there. We had contact with Lewis, but after that the car was good. I was lucky. “Fernando Alonso said.
“After that, I had to regain that time against Guthrie, who was slow at the pit stop and lost about 4 seconds there.”
“In the end, I filled the gap. I was very optimistic when I set him up and I got in touch with Guthrie. I was penalized for 5 seconds. It was my mistake and the brakes were too slow. So I think it deserves a penalty. “
“We were ready to return the position, but he was in the pit stop at the time, so we had to settle those 5 seconds.”
“The safety car after that was just perfect for the hard starter, so I lost some places there.”
