Audi signals appeal over Tsunoda’s Italian GP non-penalty
Audi says the stewards misapplied the rules after Tsunoda kept a point-scoring finish that could affect the midfield Constructors' battle.
- Audi announced it will appeal the Stewards' decision not to penalize Yuki Tsunoda for his restart positioning at the Italian Grand Prix, as a penalty would elevate Audi's Gabriel Bortoleto into the points.
- Race Director Rui Marques ordered an extra formation lap during the Italian Grand Prix after Tsunoda's car appeared out of shape while parking for a lap 6 restart at Monza, acting with an 'abundance of caution'.
- While the FIA Sporting Regulations mandate a Pit Lane start for drivers causing extra formation laps, The Stewards cleared Tsunoda as Racing Bulls received no prior notice that he was the cause.
- Finishing 11th at Monza, Gabriel Bortoleto missed the final point held by Tsunoda, prompting Audi to pursue the appeal to strengthen its position against Haas in the Constructors' Championship.
- Following the Stewards' decision, Audi notified the FIA of its intent to appeal, exercising its right under the International Sporting Code to contest the verdict within 1 hour.
