Team Aston Martin remained dissatisfied with the decision of the FIA, which did not accept its new arguments in the situation with the disqualification of Sebastian Vettel in the Hungarian Grand Prix. An official statement said another appeal was possible.
“The appeal for reconsideration is rejected on the grounds that the new facts are not relevant compared to the demand for 1 liter of fuel. The team is considering filing an appeal,” Aston Martin said in a statement.
The team cited fuel pump problems as evidence of its innocence, but the FIA said the malfunction could not be an excuse for not having a fuel sample to test.
