Porsche: “Not all teams treated equally” after da Costa Formula E Misano DSQ
Da Costa secured his first victory of the season at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli in Formula E’s debut there on Saturday. Unfortunately, he was later stripped of the win when inspectors discovered an unauthorized throttle damper setting on his car. This part, previously used on Gen2 cars, was not supposed to be on the Gen3 car according to the new rules for the 2022-23 season. Porsche, Da Costa’s team, admitted that they mistakenly used the spring and argued that all teams should be treated equally by the FIA. Despite the setback, Porsche promptly lodged an intent to appeal the decision within the given 96-hour window. This incident has cast a shadow over Da Costa’s start to the 2024 season, as he looks to bounce back from a challenging beginning in the championship.
