FIA appeal court refutes Briatore impartiality claim

The FIA Court of Appeal has dismissed a claim by Alpine boss Flavio Briatore questioning the impartiality of the judges in a case involving McLaren and Red Bull against Alpine's Pierre Gasly. Briatore alleged that one of the judges had a connection with McLaren through a charity auction in 2018 where McLaren gave cars to the judge.

However, the FIA clarified that judges are required to adhere to independence and confidentiality rules, and no objections were raised regarding the court's proceedings. The FIA remains committed to the independence and impartiality of its judges.
