Essentially the summary of the Aston Martin - Sainz appeal
- regulations state that if a car stops on track it is not allowed to continue with the session
- this is not necessarily how it has been applied in the past
- the FIA team explained that so long as the car was able to restart and continue from a stopped position within a reasonable time, that would ordinarily be permitted.
- the teams themselves said that they had previously attempted to agree what they considered to be a reasonable length of time before a car would be considered "stopped". Unfortunately, they were not able to come to a final agreement on the time allowed.
- in the FIA's view, what was crucial was that the car would not receive any outside assistance in order to restart (e.g. from marshals).
- in future race control will decide when a car has been stopped for ‘too long’ and as such won’t be able to continue (as occasionally there are extenuating circumstances at play like traffic etc)
- originally they were supposed to put that a car was allowed to restart provided it didn’t receive ‘outside assistance’ as agreed by the teams but it never made its way to the regulations
