The outcome of the Austrian Grand Prix may yet change. Following a protest by Aston Martin, it emerged that not all track limits violations had been penalised, and so FIA stewards are still going to hand out penalties.

FIA to hand out penalties

The stewards have ruled that Aston Martin's protest was justified, meaning that several track limit violations took place that were not looked at during the race. This may have allowed some drivers to escape during the race instead of being handed a time penalty.

The stewards have decided that these time penalties will still be applied and the race result will be updated as a result. In a statement issued by the FIA, the stewards stated that the race committee had to deal with over 100 deleted lap times. In addition, over 1,200 cases were reported of cars possibly exceeding track limits.
