Formula 1: Ferrari consider Sebastian Vettel protest
Ferrari want to establish whether there is enough evidence to lodge a protest that, if successful, could overturn the result of the Formula 1 world championship.
They are "evaluating footage" that appears to show Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel making an illegal overtaking move in Sunday's Brazilian Grand Prix.
Spain's Fernando Alonso lost the title by three points to his German rival.
But Vettel could lose four points if he is deemed to have broken the rules.
Formula 1's governing body, the FIA, has so far refused to confirm that it is investigating the incident.
There is no word either from Vettel's Red Bull team, who could not be contacted for a comment.
...if it isn’t called during the race....
Even if they are 100% correct, I’m not sure Ferrari has the political F1 ‘juice’ any longer to make this fly. I might be way wrong on that but the entire thing will be interesting to say the least.
The Ferraristas should shut up, deal with 2012, release Alonso and toss an offer over to Seb.
And I really, really like Alonso. But Vettel needs to be in a red car.
One of my greatest regrets in this life is that I never got to see Senna drive one.
Guess we get an extended F1 season!
Considering how much money is on the line I don’t blame Ferrari for trying. But it was investigated during the race and the Stewards made the call. I can’t imagine Charlie Whiting would be too keen on being overturned.
is that like the distinction between rape and rape rape?
