Audi Commits to Appeal Against Tsunoda's Italian GP Result
Audi says the stewards misapplied Formula 1 rules after Yuki Tsunoda caused an extra formation lap, a ruling that left Gabriel Bortoleto 11th.
- Audi has officially lodged an appeal against the FIA's decision not to penalize Racing Bulls driver Yuki Tsunoda for causing an extra formation lap during the Italian Grand Prix.
- Race Director Rui Marques ordered the extra lap out of caution regarding Tsunoda's grid positioning; stewards determined the driver was not directly responsible for the restart.
- Audi contends that Article B5.9.4 of the FIA Sporting Regulations requires any driver causing an extra formation lap to start from the pit lane, citing it as "black and white."
- A successful appeal would result in a time penalty for Tsunoda, promoting Audi driver Gabriel Bortoleto from 11th into 10th place and securing a point for the team.
- The team submitted its challenge within the mandatory 96-hour window, though the FIA has yet to set a date for the appeal hearing to resolve the matter.
