Audi has filed an intention to appeal against the FIA's decision regarding Yuki Tsunoda's non-penalty ruling from the F1 Italian GP. The Italian Grand Prix saw Tsunoda positioned incorrectly on the grid box, resulting in a wrongly started race after a red flag. The FIA stewards determined that Tsunoda did not cause the extra formation lap, fulfilling Article B5.9.4 requirements.
Despite this, Audi has invoked the Article B5.9.4, arguing for a pit lane start or stop & go penalty. The German team believes the extra formation lap was unfair to Tsunoda, the only driver affected by the incident. Audi's statement came after the FIA upheld a "No Further Action" decision. To proceed with the appeal, Audi must provide new evidence to reopen the case.
A successful appeal could mean a point gain for Audi, currently in 11th place, surpassing Gabriel Bortoleto in 10th.
