Suspended Sanctions - Appeal

In Simple Terms

If a driver or team appeals a penalty decision, that penalty doesn't take effect right away. Instead, it's put on hold until the International Court of Appeal (ICA) makes a final ruling on whether the penalty was fair or not.

• Penalties are automatically suspended when an appeal is filed
• The suspension lasts until the ICA (International Court of Appeal) makes a final decision
• This applies to all types of imposed sanctions
• The driver/team can continue competing without serving the penalty during the appeal process
