Adopt a solution. What happened last year at Spielbergheadquarters of Austrian F1 GP, it was sensational. Throughout the weekend in Styria, the track-limits issue persisted and many qualifying times were cancelled. An issue that had continued until the race, with a myriad of penalties made official by the FIA around the second evening of Sunday…
It all came from Aston Martin appeal: the British team had turned to the judges claiming that they had not examined all the cases of track limits that occurred in the Austrian GP. The protest was accepted by the FIA, forced to analyze over 1200 cases during the 71 laps covered.
The ranking therefore remained sub iudice for several years. Ranking that was revolutionized: the Spaniard Carlos Sainz was downgraded from fourth to sixth place, Lando Norris finished in fourth place ahead of Fernando Alonso, Lewis Hamilton lost his position to George Russell and finished eighth. Decisions that fueled quite a bit of controversy.

- Albon – 10 seconds
