McLaren have put an appeal into the FIA about the decision to give Lewis Hamilton a 25 second penalty. McLaren said Lewis Hamilton was 6 km/h slower across the start/finish line. Here is the statement.. "We looked at all our data and also made it available to the FIA stewards. It showed that, having lifted, Lewis was 6km/h slower than Kimi as they crossed the start/finish line. "Having passed the lead back to Kimi, Lewis repositioned his car, moving across and behind Kimi to the right-hand line and then outbraked him into the hairpin. Based on this data, we have no option other than to register our intention to appeal." "We are a racing team and now focus on Monza, with a view to
extending our lead in the drivers' world championship," |
