The FIA raised the fee for filing protests.

The FIA raised the fee for filing protests.

      Over the past year many teams were unhappy with the number of protests from Red Bull — they were not satisfied, but they requested time for investigations and provoked a wave of unfounded comments directed at their rivals.

      Mercedes driver and GPDA chairman George Russell, as well as McLaren management, publicly stated that the existing fee for filing protests is too low for teams operating on budgets of hundreds of millions of dollars.

      The FIA heard the criticism, and having never rejected the opportunity to earn money either, decided to raise the fee for filing a protest and lodging a request for review from €2,000 to €20,000. If the protest is upheld, the deposit is returned.

      The fee for filing an appeal has also been increased — to €5,000 for teams, power unit manufacturers and drivers, and to €10,000 for other parties.
