In Simple Terms
The International Court of Appeal (ICA) is F1's highest court of law. It's an independent organization set up by the FIA to make final decisions on appeals in motorsport, meaning if you disagree with a penalty or decision, the ICA is the last stop for justice.

- It operates independently from other FIA bodies to ensure fair and impartial rulings
- Established under FIA Statutes and Judicial and Disciplinary Rules
- Acts as the ultimate judicial body for motorsport disputes
