Audi signals appeal over Tsunoda’s Italian GP non-penalty
Audi says the ruling could cost Gabriel Bortoleto a point and argues FIA regulations required Tsunoda to start from the pit lane.
- The Audi Formula 1 team has formally notified the FIA of its intention to appeal against Yuki Tsunoda's non-penalty at the Italian Grand Prix, citing an incorrect application of regulations.
- During a lap 6 restart at Monza, Tsunoda parked at an angle in his grid slot, prompting Race Director Rui Marques to call an extra formation lap because he was "not comfortable" with the positioning.
- Audi cites Article B5.9.4, which requires drivers causing extra formation laps to start from the Pit Lane; The Stewards determined no penalty could be imposed because neither the team nor driver were notified of the infringement.
- Tsunoda scored the final point in 10th, finishing ahead of Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto, who crossed the line in 11th, costing Audi a potential Constructors' Championship point.
- Per Article 15.4 of the FIA's International Sporting Code, competitors have one hour after stewards' decision to notify appeal intent; Audi stated it will not comment further while the matter proceeds through the FIA appeal process.
