Spain Appeals

Incident 1

Vapid Coot vs DPT Alfie

Original decision - 10s and 2lp to both

Panel Decision - Overturned

New Decision - 5s + 1lp for DPT Alfie

After assessing the evidence presented, the panel concluded that the penalty applied for both drivers didn't match the severity of the incident itself

Vapid Coot albeit makes it 3 wide into Turn 1, Coot manages to slow their car down and make the apex on the inside without initial contact. Alfie being on the outside is where it is slightly different, as Alfie is on the outside and turns in early, which in turn, cuts Liam off in the middle and results in the contact and issues being made. As a Lap 1 Turn 1 incident, a level of leniency was applied in this decision and that 10s to coot would be removed entirely as there is no fault in their direction, but 5s and 1lp for Alfie for still turning in to Liam and bringing some issues by doing so

Incident 2

Alfie - Report Error

Conclusion - Rectified

The Panel acknowledged the mistake in the report and own has rectified this by updating the standings to their official game result

Incident 3

Para vs Connor

Original decision - 5s and 1lp

Panel Decision - Stewards Decision stands

After the panel reviewed the evidence on both sides, there may not be any sudden moves on paras wheel to the left but the language of the car is always moving to the left which narrows Connie's line, eventually edging him off the track and contact to be made

Side note, if drivers see their name under investigation during the race weekend, please provide evidence or statements as it can help stewards with their decision making practice by having as much evidence as possible
