- Alonso’s third place confirmed after series of U-turns from FIA
- Clarification to be made before Australian Grand Prix
Formula One’s governing body, the FIA, is to review its regulations after controversy and confusion clouded Fernando Alonso’s finish in the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
The race at Jeddah was won by Red Bull’s Sergio Pérez ahead of his teammate Max Verstappen but Alonso delivered another superb drive to seal third for Aston Martin. However the place was not confirmed until more than five hours after the finish and only then after a series of U-turns from the FIA.
