The Aston Martin Formula 1 team has protested the results of Chinese Grand Prix qualifying based on a potential breach of the F1 sporting regulations
The Aston Martin Formula 1 team has filed a protest against the results of the Chinese Grand Prix qualifying due to a potential violation of the F1 sporting regulations. The team’s representatives are meeting with the Chinese GP stewards to address their concerns regarding the alleged breach of Article 39.6 during qualifying. Article 39.6 states that any driver whose car stops on the track during qualifying or the sprint qualifying session shootout cannot continue participating in that session. The protest seems to be related to Ferrari driver Carlos Sainz’s actions after crashing in Q2 and then continuing to participate in the session. If Sainz’s post-crash actions are found to be in violation of the regulations, it remains to be seen how the stewards will rectify the situation and potentially impact the qualifying results for Aston Martin’s Lance Stroll and other drivers.
