Ferrari have asked Formula One's governing body to review a five-second penalty that dropped Spaniard Carlos Sainz from fourth to 12th in last Sunday's triple red-flagged Australian Grand Prix.
Team principal Fred Vasseur told reporters on a Zoom call that the request for a review was submitted to the governing FIA on Thursday.
Spaniard Sainz made contact with compatriot Fernando Alonso after the third standing start at Melbourne's Albert Park, spinning the Aston Martin around. Sainz crossed the line fourth but the penalty dropped him out of the points as the field finished metres apart. In Sainz's case they decided immediately -- without hearing from the drivers or teams involved -- that Alonso was significantly ahead at the first corner and Sainz was wholly to blame for driving into him.
