Full race results from the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, Round 2 of the F1 2023 world championship.
Fernando Alonso (ESP) Aston Martin F1 Team AMR23 leads Sergio Perez (MEX)…
Fernando Alonso had been handed a 10-second penalty (dropping him to fourth after the race) after the stewards deemed he didn't serve his initial five-second penalty correctly.
Alonso was given a five-second penalty for starting the race in the "incorrect position", but when he served it in the pit lane, Aston Martin's rear jack was in contact with the Spaniard's car.
However, Aston Martin appealed the decision and the penalty was recinded, ensuring Alonso would keep his 100th career podium.
