History

Historical Context

After the fatal crashes of Ayrton Senna and Roland Ratzenberger at the 1994 San Marino Grand Prix, the FIA created a safety committee and tightened its disciplinary system, even fining teams $100,000 for non-cooperation. The body’s International Court of Appeal now mirrors that legacy as it reinstated Pierre Gasly’s Monaco pit-lane penalties and ordered a 50 % cost split with Alpine.
