Porsche team principal Florian Modlinger has suggested that “not all teams are treated equally” after Antonio Felix da Costa was stripped of his Misano E-Prix victory after a technical breach.
Da Costa claimed his first win of the season on Formula E’s inaugural visit to the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli on Saturday. But several hours after the race, the Portuguese driver was stripped of his victory after scrutineers found an ineligible throttle damper setting related to the spring was fitted to his car.
” Porsche lodged an intent to appeal immediately in the wake of the disqualification and has 96 hours to decide whether to take further action. The Nissan and Andretti machines driven by Oliver Rowland and Jake Dennis, who were classified on the podium behind da Costa, were inspected for the same part with the machines conforming to the regulations. Motorsport.com understands, however, that the second Porsche of Pascal Wehrlein had also been fitted with the illegal spring.
