The Controversial Saga of Fernando Alonso's Saudi GP Podium

Fernando Alonso's podium finish at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix was initially taken away due to a penalty for crossing the line marking his grid spot, but the penalty was later overturned after a confusing and controversial series of events. The FIA initially imposed a 10-second time penalty, but Alonso's team appealed and presented evidence that touching the car during a penalty period did not constitute "work" on the car. The FIA eventually overturned the penalty and Alonso regained his third-place finish.
