Aston Martin protest of Austria GP result upheld amid track limits furore

The team lodged a protest post-race amid chaos surrounding the track limits violations during the Grand Prix.

The FIA stewards have upheld the protest from Aston Martin of the final race result of the Austrian Grand Prix. A post-race examination of deleted lap times revealed that several drivers escaped being penalised, according to the stewards. The stewards verdict read: "An examination of the list of deleted lap times provided to the Stewards by Race Control, revealed that a number of track limit infringements had not previously been referred to the Stewards for potential penalty. "It was determined that some of these infringements warranted a penalty that was not previously applied when the Provisional Classification was published." "These penalties will be reflected in the final classification."
