Alpine have gained their bid to overturn Fernando Alonso’s penalty on the U.S. Grand Prix after the double world champion had misplaced seventh place as stewards upheld a protest from Formulation One rivals Haas concerning the security of his automobile.

Alonso had dropped out of the factors in Austin final Sunday when stewards upheld a postrace Haas protest in opposition to him being allowed to proceed with a unfastened mirror that ultimately fell off and risked hurting somebody.

Renault-owned Alpine then protested the admissibility of the Haas protest and a video listening to was scheduled on the Mexican Grand Prix on Thursday with the U.S. stewards on whether or not to think about Alpine’s protest.

“BWT Alpine F1 Staff thanks the FIA stewards for convening and reaching a optimistic conclusion on the matter involving Automobile #14 from final weekend’s United States Grand Prix,” Alpine stated in a press release.

“The crew welcomes the choice made by the aforementioned stewards, whereby Automobile #14 reinstates its seventh place end and 6 factors from the race.

“We sit up for persevering with our collaborative work alongside the FIA to make sure the racing spectacle is maintained to the best high quality. The crew now appears to be like ahead to competing this weekend on the Mexico Metropolis Grand Prix.”

Alonso had stated on Thursday that he anticipated his demotion to be overturned and warned the game in any other case risked making a “large downside.”

Alpine stated final Sunday that Haas had lodged their protest 24 minutes too late and it shouldn’t have been accepted.
