Ferrari, Renault confirm Racing Point appeal in Mercedes copy row

 


Racing Point were docked 15 points after it was ruled they had run parts that were the principle design of last year's Mercedes car

Ferrari and Renault have confirmed they are pressing ahead with their appeal against the decision on Racing Point's car in F1's 'copying' row.

Five teams - half of the 2020 grid - had lodged intentions to appeal aspects of the stewards' decision to fine Racing Point and dock them 15 points, which was delivered at Silverstone last Friday and promoted a huge off-track dispute among teams.

Stewards ruled rear brake ducts on Racing Point's car contravened F1's sporting regulations, in a case centred on the way they came to design them and their resemblance to those Mercedes ran in 2019.

Ferrari, ผลบอล7M Renault, Williams and McLaren were unhappy the sanction did not go further, and their rivals could continue using the same design without further penalty.

Racing Point have strongly vowed to contest the decision having maintained their innocence throughout.

All five teams had until Wednesday morning to make their appeal plans official, which Ferrari and Renault have now done with the FIA.
