Mercedes and Formula 1 VAR were involved in the Alonso case

class=”sc-3778e872-0 gWjAEa”>

Spin around in this scene: a jack hits Fernando Alonso’s Aston Martin.

The whole is called Remote Operation Center (ROC). And that spot came in after Alonso had served the five-second penalty in the Aston Martin Mercedes. “Okay,” the ROC reported to Saudi Arabia from Switzerland.

Alonso made the mistake!

The fact that this podium troupe came about on Sunday is thanks to old master Alonso (41). If he had been in a good position on the front row at the start (and not parked 20 centimeters too far to the left), this justified five-second penalty would not have been imposed!

GP win 5: Sergio Pérez has cause for celebration in Jeddah.

“It was a stupid mistake,” the Spaniard admitted. What happened next during his only pit stop on 18th of 50 laps defies description. Aston Martin left the green car for five seconds before changing the rubber. understood? No.

The silent jack…

Apparently, while serving the sentence (working is not allowed there), a jack leaned against the car. The ROC in Geneva saw no offense. The FIA ​​Commissioners saw it too!

understood? No.

Shortly before the end, Russell, who was fourth behind Alonso, asked the Mercedes box: “Shouldn’t Alonso serve a five-second penalty?” Response: “Be careful, stay within five seconds!”

Mercedes intervened

What almost no one knew: Mercedes told the race officials to double check the pit stop because they were apparently busy with the Aston Martin.

When the FIA, probably ignorant of their own rules, checked the matter again, the goal (Pérez for Verstappen and Alonso) was achieved. While the three celebrated on the podium, the FIA ​​minutes were written with a ten second penalty for Alonso!

Back to the old result

At Mercedes, the third place received was celebrated as a victory in the official press release. Bad luck. Aston Martin lodged a protest and within barely two hours (!) handed over video images of seven similar “offenses” to the FIA ​​with impunity.

The four race directors then sheepishly had to admit that a penalty was not according to the rules. And wrote well after midnight local time that the old result remains valid.
