F1 Team appeal against penalty after controversial Chinese GP incident

Aston Martin have lodged the appeal on behalf of two-time F1 world champion, Fernando Alonso

Originally written by Kevin McKenna. This version is a translation.

F1 giants Aston Martin have lodged a petition for the right to review a penalty received by one of its star drivers.

The Silverstone-based team will attend a hearing on Friday in Miami following an incident which took place at last weekend's Sprint Race in China.

Fernando Alonso and Ferrari's Carlos Sainz clashed when battling for third position at the Shanghai Memorial circuit, with their contact at Turn 9 ending the Aston Martin driver's race, while the latter finished fifth.

With the stewards arriving at the conclusion that Alonso caused the collision, the two-time Drivers' Championship winner was handed a 10-second time penalty and three penalty points, giving him a total of six for the 12-month period.

However, it has now confirmed by the FIA that Aston Martin have initiated a Right of Review process, meaning both both teams involved must attend Friday's hearing, which take place across two stages.

“Any other ‘concerned party’ may seek the permission of the stewards to be present for the second part of the hearing, should one be convened.”
