Administrators decided on Thursday that Haas’s fight would not proceed because the committee could not provide ‘new and significant’ evidence. In the same document, the stewards express their criticism of the FIA ​​because they believe it will be more difficult to enforce track limits if the motorsport association does not provide evidence.

The stewards had to dismiss the protest because the track limits could be seen on internal images and were already available during the race, so no ‘new’ evidence was provided. However, the stewards voiced their criticism of the FIA ​​while explaining that they recognized a certain inability to enforce track limits and rejected the protest.
