The FIA stewards have rejected Haas F1's protest against the result of F1's AustralianGP. Full Story ⬇️
The FIA stewards have rejected Haas’ protest against the result of Formula 1's Australian Grand Prix.after feeling that the regulations had not been correctly applied in determining the order for the final safety car restart that decided the finishing positions.
A chaotic second red flag restart had brought about another stoppage, and F1's race control decided to determine the running order based to how the cars were before the grid was formed – rather than how things shook out early on that lap. This was based on Article 57.3 of the Sporting Regulations that states the order for restarts: “will be taken at the last point at which it was possible to determine the position of all cars.”
The FIA felt that this could not be established for all cars based on that restart as not everyone completed a timing sector. However, Haas argued that it should have been possible to do it from Safety Car line 2, which is at the exit of the pits before Turn 1, as all cars had got through there on the run away from the line.
