Besides Fernando Alonso receiving a 20-second time penalty after being found guilty of dangerous driving, Stake F1 Team will also receive a penalty. The team will have to pay a fine to the FIA.
During a pit stop by Valtteri Bottas, things went wrong for the team from Switzerland. The stop was slow as the team failed to control a wheel nut. Bottas was eventually able to continue his way, but was only 14th.
