A date has been set for Mercedes\u2019 right of review petition over the controversial overturning of Pierre Gasly\u2019s two penalties from Formula 1\u2019s Monaco Grand Prix.<\/p>\n

Alpine\u2019s own successful right of review resulted in Pierre Gasly\u2019s podium being reinstated on the Friday after Monaco, as Formula One Management were found to have made a measurement error that led to multiple pitlane speeding penalties.<\/p>\n

But Gasly’s reinstatement drew criticism from other teams, with McLaren<\/a> and Red Bull both following through with their intention to appeal to the FIA International Court of Appeal over the penalties U-turn.<\/p>\n

Now Mercedes, whose driver George Russell lost a potential podium because of a penalty for pitlane speeding (and received another penalty for failing to serve that correctly) has opted to use the right of review procedure.<\/p>\n

That will require Mercedes to produce a \u201csignificant and relevant new element which was unavailable to the stewards at the time of the decision concerned\u201d.<\/p>\n

Mercedes doesn\u2019t believe it\u2019s a case it\u2019s likely to win, according to team boss Toto Wolff speaking last Sunday.<\/p>\n

“We’ve asked for a right of review, because you just simply want to sit on the table when decisions are being made,” said Wolff.<\/p>\n

“[But] I still think it’s a long shot.\u201d<\/p>\n

A Mercedes representative must report to the stewards this Saturday at 8am for a virtual conference.<\/p>\n

The first part of the conference will determine whether Mercedes has cleared that new element threshold.<\/p>\n

If it has, then a second part of the hearing will take place shortly afterwards. Any other “concerned party” can seek the permission of the stewards to attend.<\/p>\n

If Mercedes fails to provide sufficient new evidence, the right of review will be denied.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A date has been set for Mercedes\u2019 right of review petition over the controversial overturning of Pierre Gasly\u2019s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":723598,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[573],"tags":[64,63,817,813,816,85],"class_list":["post-742630","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-formula-1","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-f1","tag-formula-1","tag-formula1","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/742630","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=742630"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/742630\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/723598"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=742630"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=742630"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=742630"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
