Audi to challenge stewards' ruling that cost Tsunoda points at Monza

Audi intends to formally challenge a stewards' ruling from the Italian Grand Prix that prevented the team from scoring championship points. The decision has prompted the manufacturer to pursue an appeal through the proper regulatory channels available under Formula One regulations.

The appeal comes after what Audi determined to be an unfavorable ruling during the Monza race weekend. The team believes it has grounds to contest the decision and is moving forward with the formal appeal process.

Formula One teams regularly exercise their right to appeal stewards' decisions when they believe the rulings do not align with the sport's technical or sporting regulations. The appeal will be reviewed by the appropriate FIA officials according to established procedures.

The outcome of the appeal could potentially restore the team's points tally from the race, depending on the specific circumstances of the original ruling and evidence presented in the challenge.
