Audi notifies FIA of intention to appeal Tsunoda Italian GP decision
Audi has informed the FIA that it intends to appeal the decision not to penalise Yuki Tsunoda over a possible start-procedure issue at the Italian Grand Prix. The case relates to confusion over Tsunoda’s position during a lap 6 restart, after stewards decided no penalty would be applied.
Audi has notified the FIA of its intention to appeal the ruling that left Yuki Tsunoda without a penalty for a potential starting infraction at the Italian Grand Prix. Multiple outlets reported that the team is challenging the stewards’ decision in the case.
The matter concerns an alleged breach of the start procedure. According to the reported details, there was confusion over where Tsunoda should line up for a lap 6 restart, and he stopped in his 14th grid slot but at an angle toward the inside wall.
Autosport reported that race director Rui Marques was not comfortable with Tsunoda’s position and called for an extra formation lap. Despite that sequence, stewards did not impose a penalty, prompting Audi to signal its appeal.
