Ferrari's Attempt to Overturn Sainz's Penalty Dismissed by FIA

Ferrari attempted to overturn Carlos Sainz's five-second penalty at the Australian Grand Prix by citing a rare example of a driving penalty that was challenged by a right of review process. The incident in question was a 2014 crash between Sergio Perez and Felipe Massa at the Canadian Grand Prix. However, the stewards rejected Ferrari's evidence and upheld Sainz's penalty. The FIA is trying to ensure that penalties are taken within races, and not applied retrospectively, to avoid chaos and uncertainty in race results.
