"I prefer not to talk right now,” Sainz told Sky. “Hones🌼tly, I am too disappointed and I am going🍌 to say bad things.

“It is the most unfa🐽ir 🐟penalty I have seen in my life.

“I prefer to have a conversatioꦏn with them and then come talk to you guys because right now I cannot do it.”

Under the FIA's International Sporting Code, competitors can request a 𝕴right of review up to 14 days after a stewards' ruling if “a significant and relevant new element is discovered which was unavailable to the p🍬arties seeking the review at the time of the decision concerned”.

Ferrari have two key reasons for their rig🤡ht of review.

The stewards didn’t investigate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Logan Sargeant’s🍷 crash into the back of Nyck de Vries into Turn 1.

While 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly got away with a penalty despite putting his teammate 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon into the wall - also on the same lap.

In the case of the Alpines, they were able to discuss 🎃the incident with the stewards after the race, but Ferrari were handed the penalty almost immediately, giving Sainz no chance to plead his innocence .

Speaking to select media including mahbx.com on Thursday, Vasse𒉰ur revealed that Ferrari want the case to be looked ෴at again.

“ꦜWe🌠 did the petition for the review of the case,” he said. “We sent it today to the FIA.

“As we are discussing with the FIA I🗹 don’t want to discuss any details of this ♔discussion. The only thing is that about Ocon-Gasly, also Sargeant-De Vries, Turn 1 - the reaction of the stewards wasn’t the same.

“The proce🐬ss is that first they will have a look at our petition to see if they can re-open the case and then we will have a second hearing about th🐻e decision itself. 

“What we can exp🌞ect is to have an open discussion with them but also for the good of the sport - to avoid having these kind of decisions when you have three cases on the same corner but not the same decis♍ion.”
