FIA slam Williams appeal over Baku incidents

Williams requested the stewards to review some incidents that took place during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. The FIA replied by slamming the door on Williams.

The stewards straight away released a statement smashing the ball straight back to Williams. The statement read:

During the race, the stewards gave penalties to Sergey Sirotkin and Kevin Magnussen. They remain to stand by these decisions claiming they are consistent with other penalties in the past.

Williams also appealed against the decision to allow Alonso to limp back to the pits with a double puncture.

Again, the stewards replied with another firm message: “(Alonso) took care to avoid the racing line, avoid the following traffic and minimised risk.”

The appeal was legal but usually, take place straight after the race.
