The FIA stewards have completed a hearing in Abu Dhabi following Haas' protest of both Force India Formula 1 cars, but do 🌃not ant꧅icipate delivering a verdict until just before the final practice session on Saturday afternoon.

Force India re-entered the F1 constructors' championship as a new entry at the Belgian Grand Prix followi🤪ng its exit from administration, with 'Racing Point Force India' taking the plaꦉce of 'Sahara Force India' - the entity that built the VJM11 cars - on the grid.

The stewards had been due to meet with both Haas and Force India on Frꦯiday morning, but postponed the hearing until 1540 local time betweenꦏ FP1 and FP2.

In a statement issued by the stewards, the🍎y confirmed "a substantial amount of written evidence was submitted and each party made extensive verbal representation."

"The Steward🍎s are deliberating on the matter," the♑ bulletin added.

"It is anticipated that a decision will not be handed💙 down any eꦅarlier that just prior to Free Practice 3."

Force India team principal Otmar Szafnauer said earlier today he was 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:surprised by the Haas protest, but expressed his co꧑nfide👍nce that the stewards would make an "informed decision."
