Haas has lodged a petition with the FIA for a right of review over alleged track limit infringements at Formula 1’s United States Grand Prix.
Following the race at Austin a fortnight ago, there were allegations that some drivers had taken liberties with abusing the track limits at areas of the track that were not heavily policed. Onboard footage of several cars that were being distributed among teams especially showed a number of drivers being well beyond the track edge white lines at Turn 6 of the Circuit of the Americas.
The drivers involved in the matter are believed to include Sergio Perez, Albon, Logan Sargeant and Lance Stroll. Any sanctions for these drivers could prove critical in shuffling the race order that would potentially move Haas driver Nico Hulkenberg up the order – so could have a significant impact on the constructors' championship fight. The FIA has acknowledged receipt of the right of review request and will now reconvene the stewards of the United States Grand Prix to consider the matter.
