Alonso says 'something is really wrong' with the FIA's systems after he was penalised at the end of the race for an infringement on lap 18 of the SaudiArabianGP. F1
The Aston Martin driver finished third on track, negating an initial five-second penalty for lining up incorrectly in his grid position at the start.
"I think today is not good for the fans, when you have 35 laps to apply a penalty and to inform about the penalty," Alonso said. "I feel sorry for the fans. But I really enjoyed the podium. I had the trophy, I had pictures, I celebrated with the champagne and now to have 15 points or 12 points it really doesn't change much for me.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 Russell in a bid to keep third place.
