1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve has suggested the FIA will be \u201cin a lot of trouble\u201d\u00a0after overturning Pierre Gasly’s penalty from Monaco.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Gasly crossed the line in third place last Sunday, but a duo of five-second time penalties dropped him to seventh.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
However, Alpine successfully lodged a Right of Review over the punishments for speeding in the pit lane, with Gasly being one of several drivers deemed guilty of breaching that rule at the time.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
But while other teams served their penalties in the race, Alpine did not – giving it scope to appeal the penalty in a stark contrast to those who picked up punishments for the same alleged offence.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
RacingNews365 understands that Red Bull and McLaren have signalled their intention to appeal the decision and now have 96 hours to formally proceed with the complaint.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
Speaking to Sky F1, Villeneuve voiced that those who served their penalties appropriately have been hard done by.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen you have a penalty after the race, it’s easy to just go back to what it was – you take away the penalty,\u201d he said.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen the penalty has physically been taken, you can\u2019t just suddenly [say] \u2018Oh, here’s a bonus 20 seconds\u2019.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s not something you can do because the racing of all the other drivers around him would have been different as well.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can’t just suddenly give lap time.\u201d\u00a0\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
The situation has left some teams upset, with Villeneuve understanding their frustrations towards how the FIA has handled the process.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cThat’s a very tough situation for the FIA, because ultimately the drivers who have paid the penalty of the track cannot get it back, but they’re in the same situation,\u201d he said.\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n
\u201cSo, having given the podium to Gasly puts them in a lot of trouble.\u201d\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve has suggested the FIA will be \u201cin a lot of trouble\u201d\u00a0after overturning Pierre…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":734266,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-734265","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734265","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=734265"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/734265\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/734266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=734265"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=734265"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=734265"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
