Carlos Sainz doubles down on FIA criticism after Ferrari complaints dismissed

Carlos Sainz maintains his displeased attitude towards his "disproportionate" penalty at the Australian Grand Prix despite the FIA's dismissal of his team's appeal.

The Ferrari driver picked up a five-second penalty after colliding with the Aston Martin of Fernando Alonso in the final standing-start in Melbourne. The Spaniard crossed the line in fourth position, but the penalty pushed him outside of the points.

Sainz expressed his anger with the decision after the race, describing it as: “The most unfair penalty I've ever seen in my life." Team principal Frederic Vasseur later lodged a right of review request and the appeal was heard on Tuesday afternoon.
