FIA appeal court refutes Briatore impartiality claim
The FIA court of appeal refutes a claim by Alpine boss Flavio Briatore which it says "question the independence and impartiality of the judges".
The FIA court of appeal has dismissed a claim by Alpine boss Flavio Briatore that a judge in the case involving McLaren and Red Bull was not impartial. Briatore argued that one of the judges had connections to McLaren, as the judge had attended a charity auction in 2018 where McLaren had given two or three cars. The FIA stated that court judges adhere to strict independence and confidentiality rules, and that both parties were informed and invited to raise any concerns about the proceedings or the composition of the court prior to and after the hearing.
No objections were raised during the hearing. The FIA maintains confidence in the integrity of the judges and the judicial process, and the court remains committed to fairness and impartiality.
