Three rival F1 teams summoned for Haas track limits review hearing

Red Bull, Aston Martin and Williams have been summoned by the FIA to join a Wednesday hearing over Haas's right of review request regarding alleged Formula 1 track limit breaches.

As reported over the Brazilian Grand Prix weekend, Haas has lodged a petition for a right of review over what it feels was the abuse multiple times of track limits at the United States Grand Prix that went unpunished.

The American-owned team believes that several drivers – especially Sergio Perez, Alex Albon, Logan Sargeant and Lance Stroll – went beyond the track limits at Turn 6 of the Circuit of the Americas throughout the US GP without sanction.

Onboard footage of cars appeared to show these drivers well across the white lines throughout the race, and not being picked up by the FIA.

But while motor racing's governing body was aware already in Austin of what the onboard cameras were showing, it later explained that it did not have the right CCTV cameras and monitoring equipment at the corner to judge track limit breaches accurately enough to hand out any sanctions.

That response has not satisfied Haas, however, which has pulled together, as part of its submission, a range of onboard camera views – from both the drivers involved and those running behind them – to highlight the scale of track limit abuses it feels were happening.
