Grosjean disqualified from Italian GP, Haas to appeal
Grosjean義大利站被判失格，Haas將會上訴
Romain Grosjean has been disqualified from the Italian Grand Prix after the
floor of his Haas Formula 1 car was deemed to not be in compliance with the
rules…
Grosjean delivered one of his best performances of the season to finish sixth
at Monza, with the result helping Haas leapfrog Renault into fourth in the
constructors’ championship.
But soon after the race, Renault lodged a protest over the legality of the
Haas, which centred around the floor, and following a hearing, the stewards
released a lengthy statement explaining their decision.
They said Haas had breached article 3.7.1 d of the Technical Regulations,
which focuses on the radius of the leading corners of the floor’s reference
plane.
Back in July, governing body the FIA issued a Technical Directive clarifying
the regulation and stipulated that teams must bring their cars into
conformity before the Italian Grand Prix.
It emerged during the hearing that Haas emailed the FIA, as is common in
these matters, with details of their new solution but because of the limited
time, given the summer break and two-week shutdown, they had asked for some
flexibility in the matter.
They said they would “endeavour to introduce this upgrade for the Singapore
GP but will be somewhat at the mercy of our suppliers”.
The FIA did not respond to the latter point, with Haas telling the stewards
at the hearing that it was their understanding that “a lack of response on
the matter of timing that their solution and timing were accepted”.
But the stewards said in their statement: “While the Stewards are also
sympathetic to the difficulties of producing these parts, the Stewards noted
that at least one other competitor was able to comply in the time provided.
"Further, it was made clear to the competitor from the outset that the FIA
Technical Department did not consider their car to be in compliance, and
further that they left themselves open to the circumstances they now find. It
was therefore the obligation of the competitor to be in compliance, which
they did not do.”
As a result, Grosjean was excluded from the results but Haas have notified
the FIA of their intention to appeal.
"We do not agree with the Stewards' decision to penalise our race team and we
feel strongly that our sixth-place finish in the Italian Grand Prix should
stand," said Haas Team Principal Guenther Steiner. "We are appealing the
Stewards' decision.”
If the decision stands, Grosjean and Haas will lose their eight points,
dropping them back into fifth, behind Renault in the constructors’
championship.

Grosjean在義大利大獎賽被判失格，因為Haas車子的底盤被認為沒有遵守規定。
Grosjean在Monza繳出了第六名的成績，是他本季的最好表現之一。
賽後也幫助Haas在車隊積分排行榜上超越了Renault來到了第四名。
然而賽後不久，Renault對Haas的底盤提出了抗議，緊接著召開了聽證會，官方對此發
表了相當冗長的聲明。
他們表示Haas違反了3.7.1d的技術規定，主要是針對底盤參考平面的leading corner
(這裡不太清楚指的是什麼，有待版友補充)
七月時，FIA發表了一份技術指導，對一些規定作出澄清，並且規定車隊們必須在義大利
大獎賽前讓車子遵守規定。Haas隨後寄信給FIA，表示要在有限的時間內符合規定有些
困難，希望FIA可以多給點彈性。
Haas表示他們會努力讓車子在新加坡站前升級(符合規定)，但也要看他們供應商的臉色。
FIA並沒有針對後點作出回應，Haas在聽證會上表示，他們認為沒有回應就是一種默許。
官方在聲明中表示他們能同理Haas的困難，但同時表示至少有一個車隊可以在規定的時
間內完成升級。且很明顯的，FIA從一開始就沒有認為Haas的車符合規定H，是他們(Hass)
讓自己處於這樣的情況。遵守規定是他們的義務，而Haas並沒有做到。
因此，Grosjean被判失格，但Haas向FIA表示他們會上訴。
Haas領隊Guenther Steiner表示：我們不同意官方的決定，我們強烈的認為Grosjean的
第六名應該要保留。
如果處分未撤銷，Haas將少了8分車隊積分，掉到Renault之後排第五。
