Double penalty costs Alpine all its Mexican GP points

The Alpine Formula One team suffered a significant setback at the Mexican Grand Prix after both of its drivers were hit with double penalties, ultimately resulting in the team being stripped of all points earned during the race. The stewards’ decision came after a series of infractions throughout the weekend, including a collision involving Oscar Piastri and other on-track incidents that drew scrutiny from race officials. The adjustments to the final classification were substantial, with the Mexican GP results being revised multiple times following the announcement of the penalties. The fallout from these decisions has had direct consequences for the championship standings, notably allowing other competitors to advance. One of the primary beneficiaries of this chaotic outcome was Hirakawa, who managed to secure points on his F1 debut due to the reshuffling caused by the Alpine penalties. This event has sparked a wider conversation within the paddock about the consistency and impact of stewardship decisions during intense Grand Prix weekends.
