Alonso questions FIA penalty system after losing 100th F1 podium.

Fernando Alonso, the Aston Martin driver, has criticized the FIA system for the late penalty he received during the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix. Alonso was given a 10-second penalty after the podium ceremony for work starting on his car when the first penalty was served in his pitstop, dropping him to fourth in the final results. Alonso felt the FIA must speed up its penalty decision rather than overhaul the process, as he felt had he been told about the 10-second penalty during the race he could have pulled out a bigger gap over George Russell in a bid to keep third place.
