The stewards shared at the Austrian GP that they refused the petition because there was no major, new, and relevant evidence that was not present to McLaren at the time of the judgment.
Lando received a 5-second penalty for ‘unsportsmanlike behavior’ when the safety car was announced by slowing more than necessary to dodge a ‘double stack’ delay when he pitted behind his Australian teammate Oscar Piastri.
Because of the penalty, he go from 9th position to 13th position, and he was not able to win points and shared that the penalty made no sense to him.
