A Aston Martin asked the FIA to review the penalty that Fernando Alonso suffered in the sprint race at the Chinese GP Formula 1 after a collision with Carlos Sainz.
After the sprint race, the stewards imposed a time penalty that did not affect the Spaniard’s result because he retired after the incident, but they also penalized Alonso with three points on his license.
Now, the FIA has announced that the British team has requested a review and summoned a team representative and a Ferrari representative to appear before the track marshals on Friday at the Miami GP, ahead of the first and only free practice session.
