Formula 1 team Haas has submitted a review request to the FIA stewards regarding track limits breaches during the US Grand Prix. The team claims that Sergio Perez, Lance Stroll, Alex Albon, and Logan Sargeant committed multiple offences at Turn 6 that went unpunished.
The review request will be considered by the original FIA stewards of the event in an online gathering on Wednesday. Their first task will be to decide whether or not the Haas request is valid and warrants further investigation.
Haas presents clear evidence
Haas has conducted an analysis of onboard videos, including shots from following cars, in order to gather evidence of the alleged track limits breaches. The team believes it has obtained clear evidence showing the violations committed by Perez, Stroll, Albon, and Sargeant at Turn 6.
If the evidence is deemed valid by the FIA stewards, it could lead to penalties being imposed on the drivers involved. These penalties may impact the final results of the US Grand Prix.
The significance of Turn 6
Turn 6 at the Circuit of the Americas is known for its challenging nature and has been a focal point of many discussions regarding track limits. The corner requires precision and skill, as drivers navigate through a series of bends.
However, there have been past instances where drivers have taken liberties with track limits at this particular corner. It is now up to the FIA stewards to determine if the alleged breaches by Perez, Stroll, Albon, and Sargeant are valid and warrant penalties.
Online gathering of FIA stewards
The review request by Haas will be assessed during an online gathering of the FIA stewards responsible for the US Grand Prix. This virtual meeting will provide the stewards with an opportunity to discuss and evaluate the evidence presented by Haas.
Following their assessment, the stewards will deliberate on whether the alleged track limits breaches indeed took place. If found guilty, penalties could range from time penalties to points deductions or even disqualification for the drivers involved.
Implications for the US Grand Prix results
If the FIA stewards conclude that Perez, Stroll, Albon, and Sargeant did breach track limits at Turn 6, it could have significant implications for the results of the US Grand Prix.
Depending on the severity of the violations, penalties imposed upon the drivers could lead to changes in their finishing positions or even result in disqualification. This would ultimately affect the championship standings and may impact the points earned by their respective teams as well.
As the investigation progresses, fans and stakeholders eagerly await the decision of the FIA stewards and the potential outcomes it may bring for this closely contested race.
