The FIA has vowed to review its processes after the farcical handling of Fernando Alonso’s podium in Saudi Arabia. Alonso’s podium was finally reinstated at 1.02am on Monday morning, and according to the French magazine L’Equipe the governing FIA is now promising to review the situation. “I don’t care, because I was on the podium with the champagne, all of our sponsors on the podium, so it hurt me less. Timo Glock, a former Formula 1 driver, told Sky Deutschland it is “only right” that Alonso got his podium back. “There is clearly no advantage or disadvantage whether a jack touches the car or not.”.
