FIA respond to Ferrari rivals

The FIA has released a statement detailing why they had entered a private settlement with Ferrari over their 2019 power unit.

Yesterday, all seven non-Ferrari powered teams issued an address to the FIA saying they ‘strongly object’ to the FIA’s decision to keep their findings privatised.

But today’s FIA statement explains that, while they were not ‘fully satisfied’ with their analysis, the private settlement agreement is a legal ‘essential component of any disciplinary system,’ and thus will stand.

The FIA statement read:

“The FIA has conducted detailed technical analysis on the Scuderia Ferrari Power Unit as it is entitled to do for any competitor in the FIA Formula One World Championship.

“The extensive and thorough investigations undertaken during the 2019 season raised suspicions that the Scuderia Ferrari PU could be considered as not operating within the limits of the FIA regulations at all times.

“The Scuderia Ferrari firmly opposed the suspicions and reiterated that its PU always operated in compliance with the regulations.

“The FIA was not fully satisfied but decided that further action would not necessarily result in a conclusive case due to the complexity of the matter and the material impossibility to provide the unequivocal evidence of a breach.

“To avoid the negative consequences that a long litigation would entail especially in light of the uncertainty of the outcome of such litigations and in the best interest of the Championship and of its stakeholders, the FIA, in compliance with Article 4 (ii) of its Judicial and Disciplinary Rules (JDR), decided to enter into an effective and dissuasive settlement agreement with Ferrari to terminate the proceedings.

“This type of agreement is a legal tool recognised as an essential component of any disciplinary system and is used by many public authorities and other sport federations in the handling of disputes.”
