Red Bull lodge Ricciardo appeal
22 March 2014 5:23 AM IST
The Formula One champions’ protest arrived at FIA’s Paris headquarters shortly before the 96 hour deadline.
Red Bull had made it plain ever since Ricciardo lost his runner-up spot to Nico Rosberg in the Melbourne stewards room on a technical infringement that they would challenge the ruling.
Ricciardo’s fate now lies in the hands of the FIA’s appeals board which will sit in the next few weeks. Red Bull boss Christian Horner has absolved Ricciardo of any blame in the bungle.
It made Ricciardo the first casualty of new limits on fuel load and fuel flow introduced this year. “It is no fault of Daniel. I don’t believe it is the fault of the team,” Horner told Australian media.
