Red Bull advisor Dr Helmut Marko says Red Bull has appealed the FIA’s decision not to penalise Lewis Hamilton for the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix FP3 yellow flags incident.

After Saudi Arabian Grand Prix FP3 the stewards have investigated Lewis Hamilton for allegedly ignoring double-waved yellow flags.

After some deliberation they determined that the yellow flags were the result of a marshalling system error and decided not to penalise Lewis.

However, the ruling can still be appealed, and Red Bull’s Helmut Marko says his team has already done so.

“We have appealed against this decision,” the Austrian told Servus TV.

“In Qatar, Max gets a five-place grid penalty [for ignoring double-waved yellow flags]. Here, suddenly a yellow is no longer a yellow. There is another interpretation.

“But it can’t go on like this, that you interpret it in such an arbitrary way,” Marko concluded.
