Red Bull Racing has formally lodged its appeal against Daniel Ricciardo’s disqualification from the Australian Grand Prix.
Team principal Christian Horner immediately signalled his squad’s intention to appeal following confirmation of the FIA Stewards’ decision, but had a 96 hour timeframe in which the documentation could be filed.
An FIA spokesman has confirmed to Autosport that the appeal was lodged just hours prior to the deadline.
Red Bull remains adamant that the FIA’s fuel flow calculations during the race were inaccurate.
A date for the hearing, which will be held at the FIA’s Court of Appeal in Paris, France, is expectted to be confirmed by the end of the week.
