The podium of Formula E’s Jakarta race has changed two weeks after the race thanks to a rare appeal victory
Sebastien Buemi has regained his third-place finish in the recent Jakarta E-Prix after his penalty for a collision with Edoardo Mortara’s Mahindra was overturned following a successful appeal.
Buemi’s Envision team provided additional camera footage that led to the penalty being rescinded, moving him from eighth back to third in the final classification.
This result means that Buemi now climbs to tenth in the drivers’ standings, taking his second podium of the season and moving Envision to ninth place in the teams’ points standings ahead of Cupra Kiro.
A hearing was held earlier this week to review the new evidence presented by Buemi’s team, resulting in the decision being reversed due to the lack of predominant responsibility for the collision.
While the FIA will soon update the official race results and trophya assignments, Mahindra has the option to appeal the decision further, despite not showing intent to do so.
