Dragon Racing Formula E team have announced that it is committed to appealing two penalties applied to Formula E rival DS Virgin Racing in the London finale, in its bid to win third in the teams’ championship.
DS Virgin beat Dragon to third by just one point after the series’ Battersea Park finale. This was due a to the eighth-place finish earned by Jean-Eric Vergne despite two penalties.
Vergne picked up a 50-second penalty for using too much energy that initially dropped him to seventh in the results, and then had one more second added to his race time for an unsafe release in the car swaps.
Last week, the Dragon Racing Formula E team lodged its intention to appeal both of Vergne’s penalties after the race and has now followed it through. A date for the case to be heard by the FIA International Court of Appeal has not been set, though is not expected to be heard for several weeks.
Until the court has met and ruled on the decision, the results of the championship remain official but subject to change.
