“Justice Has Been Served”: F1 Twitter Erupts as Fans Have Divided Opinions on FIA Shooting Down Ferrari’s Plea

It’s been two weeks since the Australian Grand Prix. However, it’s only now that we can say with full conviction that the race has been finally concluded. Albert Park gave us one of the most memorable Grand Prix in the history of the sport. A chaotic GP, however, ended in tears for Ferrari and Carlos Sainz, as the Spaniard inadvertently took his childhood idol, Fernando Alonso out at the restart that earned him a 5-second penalty, which resulted in him tumbling out of the points.

Naturally, the Scuderia invoked their right to review under the statutes of the FIA. When this was announced, there was a huge hue and cry amongst the Tifosi. And it would appear that the advice given to Sainz and the team from Maranello by the fans was actually prudent.

It has been revealed that the right to review that was lodged by Ferrari has been dismissed by the FIA. This means that the race result will be left unaffected and the final classifications solidified. This is a huge dent to the Scuderia’s championship ambitions. But how have the fans reacted?

Fans react as Ferrari get brutally snubbed by the FIA

The Stewarding decisions are always very difficult to overturn. Hence, some really substantial piece of evidence must be adduced to make one’s case. And Ferrari failed to do that. Naturally, fans over at Twitter have differing opinions about this. One fan even commented, “Justice has been served.”

Let’s take a look at just a few of the fan reactions from this latest development in the Carlos Sainz-FIA saga.

No doubt that the Tifosi would be heartbroken at the sight of this news. That being said, it also must be appreciated that it was pretty much an open and shut case. This is exactly why, a plethora of fans on the social networking site, Twitter were not that sympathetic towards the storied Italian team.

What’s more? Many fans believe that Ferrari are exhausting their focus behind the wrong things. They’d rather see the Scuderia working hard towards their championship bid.
