'I think from here onwards, small damages like a mirror, like from-wing endplate, if it's non-structural, like a brake duct, something like that, will not be considered to be a black-and-orange flag offence.įernando Alonso, Alpine A522, collides with Lance Stroll, Aston Martin AMR22 And then that drive Fernando did, he should have kept that seventh place. Haas’s protest does not jeopardise Red Bull’s constructors championship victory today, as they had done enough to secure the title without the points scored by Perez.'I don't think anyone, maybe apart from Haas, felt that having a mirror knocked off in an accident that wasn't your fault. “I’m not really happy about what happened out there with the other cars that are losing bits and pieces and don’t get called in like we normally do, so we will follow-up on that one,” he said. Team principal Guenther Steiner queried why other cars were not given the same treatment in today’s race.

Magnussen has been shown the flag on three occasions this year, which has prompted complaints by Haas. Neither of the drivers were shown the black-and-orange flag which requires them to pit for repairs. Perez lost his right-hand front wing end plate and Alonso’s right-hand mirror came off. However, both cars under protest shed parts during the race. Documentation issued by the FIA does not indicate what Haas’s protest relates to besides a “technical infringement” on the cars involved. Representatives of Alpine and Red Bull have been summoned to meet the stewards at 6:15pm and 6:45pm local time. Haas drivers Kevin Magnussen and Mick Schumacher finished ninth and 15th respectively. The protests concern the Red Bull of Sergio Perez, which finished fourth, and the Alpine of Fernando Alonso, which took seventh. A representative of the team met with the stewards, following which the team’s protests were deemed admissible.
