Ferrari Chairman John Elkann has called for the FIA to implement “more clarity” on its application of rules in Formula
The inaugural race at the Las Vegas Strip Circuit was marred by Sainz sustaining extensive damage to his Ferrari car from a loose water valve cover, resulting in a curtailed FP1. Ferrari had to replace multiple components, causing Sainz to exceed his yearly allocation on Energy Store components. Ferrari’s request for dispensation from the FIA stewards was turned down, resulting in a controversial 10-place grid penalty for Sainz. Both Ferrari Team Principal Frederic Vasseur and Elkann have called for more transparency between the FIA and the teams to prevent similar incidents and ensure fairness. Furthermore, Elkann emphasized the need for clarity in terms of regulations, compliance with the cost cap, and defining limits in light of technological advancements and the importance of being carbon-neutral.
