🚨 Toto Wolff berkata jika Mercedes sedang berdiskusi dengan pengacara soal kemungkinan ajukan banding kepada FIA terhadap keputusan pembatalan penalti Pierre Gasly.
🗣️: "Kami sedang berdiskusi dengan pengacara kami untuk apa yang kami bisa bagi George. Penalti drive-through itu, jika tidak terjadi setara dengan 20 detik waktu saat balapan Apa yang bisa 20 detik berikan untuk hasil balapannya?
"Apakah itu artinya kami secara realistis punya peluang untuk mengubah hasilnya? Saya rasa tidak. Tapi kami akan mencobanya. Jika ada kemungkinan kecil untuk mengubah hasilnya dan mengembalikan (Russell) ke posisi mana pun itu - kami menghitungnya, P3 atau P4."
🚨 The team is in discussions with its lawyers to see if there are any grounds for it to push the FIA to “remedy” George’s lost points in the Monaco Grand Prix amid the controversy over pitlane speed limit penalties
Toto 🗣️"I think we are having some timing limitations and some other legal constraints, but definitely [it is] something we have a reason to be annoyed for. And I wish we could have had those conversations before the race on Sunday.”
"Obviously, there are certain timing restraints. We wouldn’t appeal the Gasly results certainly, but we would like the FIA to look at what could be the remedies for George’s race."
"We were on the phone with our lawyers to look at what can we do for George," he said
"The drive-through, if it didn’t happen at the end, is the equivalent of 20 seconds’ race time. What would 20-seconds [in] race time have meant for his result?"
"Do we think that we realistically have a chance of reverting the result? I don’t think so."
"But we definitely have to give it a go if we see that there is a millimetre of chance to do so, and bring him back to whatever it was, P4, we’ve calculated, P3 or P4."
