Twice this season, Ferrari was deprived of a victory by a decision of the FIA. First at the Canadian Grand Prix, where Sebastian Vettel was penalized by 5 seconds for returning dangerously to the track. Then to Austria, where Charles Leclerc was the victim of a very daring overtake from Max Verstappen, without him receiving a penalty.
If the FIA commissioners constantly justify their decisions, the latter in any case have the gift of annoying Piero Ferrari. The vice-president of Ferrari deplored certain verdicts, in comments reported by the Italian newspaper Il Resto del Carlino. “The risk is that our fans start to suspect that there is something against Ferrari. I prefer to think that this is not true.
We cannot afford a loss of credibility, he said in particular. Ferrari's position is clear, for us Sebastian won in Montreal. In his case there was a literal application of the regulations which then failed (…) for Charles (in Austria, editor’s note) ». Words which will certainly not improve relations between the most successful team in the history of the Formula 1 and the FIA.
