FIA rejects Briatore's impartiality allegations in Gasly Monaco dispute

The FIA Court of Appeal dismissed Flavio Briatore's claim that a judge in the Alpine-Gasly case was biased due to links with McLaren, reiterating judges’ independence and disclosure duties. Briatore had argued one official attended a charity event with McLaren connections; the FIA defended the process and allowed no objections to the proceedings. The court’s ruling kept Gasly in seventh and elevated three Red Bull drivers and one McLaren driver in the final order, prompting strong rebukes from McLaren as Briatore’s allegations were publicly aired. Andrea Stella of McLaren emphasized the hearing's high standards and rejected the accusations.
