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 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 out of an 'abundance of caution'.
- The FIA Sporting Regulations require drivers who cause extra formation laps to start from the Pit Lane; however, The Stewards determined no penalty applied because Racing Bulls received no notice that Tsunoda was the cause.
- Gabriel Bortoleto finished 11th at Monza, missing the final point held by Tsunoda, while Audi trails Haas in the Constructors' Championship, making the appeal outcome crucial to the team's standings fight.
- Per Article 15.4 of the International Sporting Code, competitors have one hour after the Stewards' decision to notify their appeal intent, and Audi has officially notified the FIA, initiating the formal appeal process.
