US Grand Prix Results Confirmed as F1 Stewards Reject Haas Appeal, Call for Better Track Limit Enforcement

FIA Stewards affirm US Grand Prix results following Haas' allegations of track limits violations, demonstrate dissatisfaction with current track limit enforcement and recommend reforms ahead of 2024 season.

  • The F1 governing body rejected Haas' appeal, stating there was 'no significant and relevant new element' unavailable to the team after the US Grand Prix. Haas' complaint was based on alleged track limit violations by several cars who finished ahead of theirs.
  • The FIA stewards are dissatisfied with the current policing of track limits and have recommended changes ahead of the 2024 season to prevent further violations.
  • During the US Grand Prix, Haas argued that several cars, including those driven by Alex Albon, Logan Sargeant, Sergio Perez, and Lance Stroll, had exceeded track limits at Turn Six repeatedly without being penalized.
  • The standard penalty for multiple track limit infringements is an additional five seconds added to the infringing driver's race time.
  • Despite the FIA's rejection of Haas' appeal, the concern around track limit enforcement remains, highlighting the need for better technology, track modifications, or different enforcement standards.
