F1 team demand FIA investigation after controversial Imola Grand Prix decision
The Haas F1 team has requested the FIA investigate a disputed decision at the Imola Grand Prix regarding Ollie Bearman’s deleted qualifying lap after a red flag.
Bearman and Haas disagreed with the ruling, claiming the lap was completed before the red flag was shown, but the FIA maintained the deletion even after reviewing the incident.
Haas is seeking transparency from the FIA regarding the decision-making process and potential strategies to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Despite the FIA’s rationale that Bearman crossed the line after the red flag time, Bearman argued that no red flag was displayed when he crossed, leading to an unfair deletion of the lap.
The team has requested written clarification from the FIA and urged for measures to avoid such situations in the future for the benefit of F1.
