Alonso handed time penalty for incorrect penalty service
Breaking News: Fernando Alonso has been penalized post-race at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, resulting in a loss of position and a 10-second time penalty. The penalty stems from an incorrectly-served penalty, as confirmed by Race Control.
George Russell, who initially lost his third position to Alonso during the race, revealed that Alonso himself informed him of the penalty. Russell took to Twitter to express his disappointment, calling it a "shame for all the fans and everyone involved."
Russell jokingly suggested that he could "hand deliver" the penalty to Alonso at the next race in Melbourne, where Alonso is expected to stand on the podium. The incident highlights the competitive nature of Formula 1 and the importance of adhering to race regulations.
