Race winner Sergio Perez, second placed Max Verstappen and third placed Fernando Alonso celebrate on track after the Saudi Arabia Grand Prix.
F1 regulations do not explicitly state that mechanics cannot touch the car, instead, the relevant article reads: "While a car is stationary in the pit lane as a result of incurring a penalty ... it may not be worked on until the car has been stationary for the duration of the penalty."The team presented seven other instances of cars being touched by the rear jack while serving a penalty where those drivers were not further penalised.
"Having reviewed the new evidence, we concluded that there was no clear agreement, as was suggested to the Stewards previously, that could be relied upon to determine that parties had agreed that a jack touching a car would amount to working on the car, without more," read a stewards report from the FIA.
