The FIA International Court of Appeal has publicly defended its procedures following remarks by Flavio Briatore. Reports said Briatore, Alpine’s executive consultant, questioned the independence of a judge and made allegations of bias and integrity issues.
The response from the court was described by several outlets as firm, with the body defending the independence of its judges and its handling of the matter. The dispute is linked by reports to Alpine’s Monaco Grand Prix podium case and Briatore’s subsequent press conference comments.
Coverage also raised the question of whether Alpine can take the Monaco GP case any further, but the common confirmed development across outlets was the court’s statement answering Briatore’s allegations.
