in Australia it remains in 12th place – Corriere.it

The FIA ​​has decided, Sainz’s penalty case will not be reopened. The review request presented by Ferrari after the Australian GP was deemed inadmissible, thus confirming the Spaniard’s twelfth place in Melbourne. The evidence brought from Maranello were not considered elementsthe new n relevant to reformulate the judgment of sports commissioners. Among these tests were telemetry, Sainz’s statements after the race and those of other riders. In short, wasted time, for the stewards the dynamics of the accident were clear from the beginning and in other cases of collisions of the kind those responsible had received similar penalties.

The hearing was held this morning via video link, the discussion lasted more than two hours.

Sainz was penalized with 5″ in the Australian GP for a contact with Alonso on the restart after the second red flag, relegated from fourth state to twelfth with the race practically ending behind the safety car. Carlos had talked about the worst punishment ever, even Fernando himself had judged her excessively severe. Vasseur had asked for the case to be reopened because we have seen similar incidents (the one between the Alpines of Gasly and Ocon, ed) judged with different weights in the same lap, and then because Carlos wasn’t even given the chance to be heard.

For Ferrari, an epilogue similar to that of Vettel’s appeal in Canada in 2019, even then the tests were considered insufficient to overturn the decision, to remove the penalty from Sebastian who had given the victory to Hamilton.

Also today at Mugello, Ferrari organized one private test session for reserves. On the SF-21, the 2021 single-seater, they shot Antonio FireAnthony GiovinazziDavid Rigon and Robert Schwartzman. served as training for those who have to be ready in case their time comes.
