McLaren's protest against the results of F1 Austrian Grand Prix𒁃 qualifying has been dismissed🍸 by the FIA stewards. 

F1's stewards decided to reject McLaren's pro🧸test 💜on the grounds that it was inadmissible. 

Hဣaving initially qualified tꦆhird at the Red Bull Ring, Piastri’s lap was deleted by the stewards for track limits at Turn 6.

The lap deletion meant tha꧃t Piastri qualified seventh rather than third.

However, upon examining the𝄹 off-board footage, there was some doubt over whethe🗹r Piastri actually exceeded track limits.

This was a view shared by Sky Sports’ Anthony Davidson, who was unconvinced that Piastri had all four wheels outside of the wh🌠ite line at Turn 6.

As a result, McLaren lodged a prot꧃est, which wa♎s rejected.

The stewards' verdict in full 

Procedure
1. On June 29, 2024 following the publication of the Provisional Classification for the Qualifying for the Austrian Grand Prix, McLaren Formula 1 Team lodged a protest against the deletion of a lap time (1.04.786) set by the driver of Car 81 (Oscar Piastri) in Q3.
2. The Stewards first convened a hearing with McLaren to determine the admissibility, or otherwise, of the Protest.
3. Present at that Hearing were the Team Principal, Andrea Stella, and Team Manager, Randeep Singh.
Admissibility
4. The protest was lodged in writing (Article 13.4.1 ISC).
5. It was accompanied by a deposit of EUR 2,000 (Article 13.4.2 ISC).
6. It was addressed to the Clerk of the Course and not to the Chairperson of the Stewards (Article 13.5.1 ISC).
7. It did not specify any relevant regulations (Article 13.4.1 ISC).
8. It did not specify against whom the protest was lodged (Article 13.4.1 ISC).
9. It did identify the concerns of the protesting party (Article 13.4.1 ISC).
Conclusions of the Stewards
10. The subject matter of the protest was a decision (deletion of a relevant lap time in accordance with Article 12.4.1 e) of the FIA International Sporting Code) taken by the Stewards. A decision of the Stewards is not open to protest (Article 12.3.3 ISC).
11. Additionally, the protest does not meet several of the required criteria for the admissibility of a protest (ref. points 6 to 8 above).
12. The Stewards therefore reject the protest as it is inadmissible.
13. The protest deposit is forfeited.

Piastri was outraged by the de🍒letion, describing the policing of tr𒉰ack limits as “embarrassing”.
