FIA reject Ferrari request for review of Sainz's Melbourne penalty

Formula One stewards dismissed Ferrari's petition to review Carlos Sainz's penalty, which cost him fourth place at the Australian Grand Prix.

The stewards who made the original decision in Melbourne held a virtual meeting on Tuesday to decide whether to grant a review of the five second sanction.

Sainz was given the penalty for crashing into Aston Martin driver Fernando Alonso after a restart. The race finished on a safety car lap, so the time penalty pushed Sainz down to last of the 12 finishers and he scored no points.

According to rules, for a review to happen Ferrari needed to present the hearing with a "significant and relevant new element".
