Da Costa: FIA must "find another way" than disqualifying FE cars post-race
The Portuguese driver lost his win in the Misano E-Prix due to his Porsche car failing post-race checks because of an ineligible throttle damper setting. The part in question had been used before, but its inclusion in the new car’s catalogue was removed. Porsche admitted to using the part since the start of the Gen3 era. Despite no performance advantage, the disqualification had a significant impact on the championship standings, prompting Porsche to appeal the decision. The team’s intent to appeal shows their determination to fight for the points and clear their name. The driver believes that such decisions are not good for the sport and hopes for a fair resolution during the upcoming hearing in June.
