The Latest Breaking News from FIA

Fernando Alonso’s third place was confirmed after a series of U-turns from the FIA which has prompted clarification on the rules to be made before the Australian Grand Prix

This is the full breakdown of the key moments in that timeline: from Alonso lining up in second place to gaining, losing and then finally, and officially, regaining his 100th F1 podium.

Alonso was stripped of third place after the race accused of not serving a penalty properly but, after a review, the decision has been overturned and he is classified about George Russell again

The Mercedes driver benefitted from Alonso's 10-second penalty, which he was handed because his pitcrew worked on his car during his pitstop before he served his first full five-second penalty, for incorrectly lining up on his grid spot at the start of the race.

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.
