FIA rejects request to review Sainz's Australian Grand Prix penalty

formula 1
The FIA ​​has rejected Ferrari's request for a review of the Australian Grand Prix F1 stewards' penalty for Carlos Sainz's collision with Fernando Alonso. Sainz hit Alonso on the last restart and was handed a five-second time penalty slipped from fourth to twelfth place, and the team from Maranello decided to appeal against the penalty, as the commissioners did not take the driver's or team's statement into account when making the decision. But the FIA ​​rejected the request to review the penalty, as in their opinion the statement of the team and the driver does not contain important information that could influence the decision. According to the commissioners, the Ferrari driver is entirely to blame for the collision with another driver, as he should have had enough space to avoid the collision. F

Formula 1: Australian GP schedule - First rainy race this year?

formula 1
Formula 1 is returning to Australia after a break of a few years. Albert Park once hosted the opening race of the Formula 1 season, and this time the caravan is heading to Melbourne for this year’s third race. The racetrack has undergone some changes since 2019, when the last F1 race took place on it. The track, which was changed for the first time after the first race there in 1996, is wider in a few places, and faster after the changes of the ninth and tenth turns. Altogether, as many as seven bends were rearranged on the track, and two were completely removed, so that the circle consists of only 14 bends, and the circle itself is 28 meters shorter. The biggest change is the removal of chicanes, or bends 9 and 10, where a long fast bend is now set. Bends 1, 3 and 6 are wider, the latter is now much faster, and the eleventh bend is more

The start of the 1 Formula 2021 season in Australia is likely to be postponed due to a worrying situation with the Covid-19 virus. The season is set to begin on March 21 with a race in Melbourne, where the race was canceled last year due to an outbreak of a coronavirus epidemic. Australia took strong action late last year to prevent the spread of the virus, which killed more than 1.8 million people worldwide last year *. Formula 1 staff would have to arrive in Australia two weeks earlier, as a 14-day quarantine would be required, and the alternative would be to hire private flights, and then stay in the "biosphere", as prescribed in Abu Dhabi, in both in some cases, this would be a major logistical as well as a financial barrier.
