After the finish of the Austrian Grand Prix, the Aston Martin team protested the results of the race. The reason for the protest was that not all drivers who violated the track limits during the race were penalized.
The stewards accepted the protest and a few hours later adjusted the results of the Austrian Grand Prix. As a result of additional penalties received by Carlos Sainz and Pierre Gasly, Aston Martin drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll won back one position each.
Aston Martin boss Mike Krak admits that not everyone liked the revision of the results of the Austrian Grand Prix, but he believes that the team did the right thing.
Mike Krak: “We are not afraid that someone was upset by our protest, because we acted in the interests of sport and in our own interests. We knew that our actions would lead to some outrage, but at the end of the day, we are doing what is right for the team and therefore decided to file a protest.
I think that by next year a solution will be found with the boundaries of the route. Last year we were also fined for their violations and learned our lesson. In the race, we constantly reminded the riders to respect the boundaries, as the penalties will not keep you waiting.
It is important to remember that ten riders did not violate the boundaries of the track, so it was possible to pass the race while remaining within the legal limits.
