The FIA has confirmed Audi's appeal date for the case against the final result of the Italian Grand Prix after the German team took issue with the outcome of a post-race investigation into Yuki Tsunoda.
In early September, Tsunoda ended the race at Monza in P10 to score his first point of the year whilst deputising for Liam Lawson at Racing Bulls.
He avoided a penalty after being investigated by the stewards, having been flagged for a potential starting infringement.
Tsunoda originally lined up on the wrong side of the grid at a red flag restart following an incident involving Charles Leclerc, but moved to correct it; however, he found himself positioned at an awkward angle in his grid box.
Race control opted to call an aborted start, and under Article B5.9.4 of the sporting regulations, it stipulates that any driver who causes an extra formation lap must be moved to the pit lane.
However, the stewards determined that it was the race director, rather than Tsunoda, who instigated the extra lap.
After Gabriel Bortoleto finished behind Tsunoda in the race and just outside of the points, Audi appealed the stewards' decision.
The case will now be heard by the International Court of Appeal at 09:00 local time in Paris, on 25th November, 2026.
