Will the Ferrari protest end up in the trash?

Unfortunately, this follow-up is possible if the team can come up with new evidence within 14 days. However, if these are irrelevant, the FIA ​​will throw the matter in the dustbin.

When rank 4 becomes rank 12

Otherwise, the four “judges” from Melbourne will have to reopen the case. By phone. The facts: Because Sainz turned around on track behind the Alonso safety car before the last start, the commissioners imposed a five-second time penalty. Sainz started the last lap with this handicap – without overtaking. The Spaniard thus finished in 12th and last place. Six seconds behind winner Verstappen. Sainz raced to the finish: “It’s not fair!”

Three same accidents?

Now Ferrari claims the insane final was measured by two cubits. Vasseur on “motorsport-magazin.com”: “There were also collisions between Gasly and Ocon as well as Sargeant and De Vries in the first corner. But the reaction of the stewards was not the same.”

Decision to Baku?

Ferrari now hopes for an open discussion after the worst start of the season since 2009. Vasseur: “Because we were not heard after the race!” A decision is sought by Baku (April 30), the next race. Imagine teams protesting a result during the next triple header in Imola (May 21), Monaco (May 28) and Barcelona (June 4). Whoever does this wrongly must be punished.

Mass cannot lose either

A Ferrari driver had recently made a fuss: Felipe Massa (41). The Brazilian, who was beaten by Hamilton in 2008 by 98:97, seriously demanded that the scandalous GP of Singapore (“Crashgate”) be removed from the World Cup rankings (in sight).

Piquet intentionally crashed into the wall to help teammate Alonso win with yellow flags. Massa was 15 years late with his lawsuit. It was already known then that it was a scam. Moreover, in Singapore, of all places, he threw away the decisive World Championship point for the title with a failed pit stop (carrying a snake). He was 13th – 8th place would have been enough.
