Ferrari AF Corse has filed an appeal after their protest against the decision to extend the FIA World Endurance Championship 6 Hours of Spa was rejected. The race ended in controversy with a red flag incident leading to the unprecedented extension of the race. This decision favored Hertz Team JOTA’s No. 12 Porsche 963, resulting in a surprise victory. Ferrari, holding first and second positions in Hypercar before the stoppage, was displeased with the outcome. Despite their protest being dismissed, Ferrari is now pursuing an appeal through the FIA International Court of Appeal, with the final decision pending. The FIA defended its extension decision, citing the need for repairs and safety, ensuring fairness for all competitors.
