FIA set to take action after failed Red Bull bid
The FIA is poised to act following an unsuccessful protest from Red Bull at last month’s Canadian Grand Prix. This week, the FIA Commission, chaired by Nikolas Tombazis and Stefano Domenicali, discussed increasing deposit fees for protests. Red Bull’s attempt to challenge George Russell’s win resulted in a debate over existing protest fees. The FIA’s rejection of Red Bull’s protest and forfeiture of their deposit prompted calls for fee adjustments to deter unwarranted protests. A report from the FIA indicated a potential evaluation of protest, appeal, and review fees, as well as the introduction of investigation fees. Mercedes and McLaren have both criticized Red Bull for what they perceive as frivolous and distracting protests, urging for stricter regulations to prevent future incidents.
