Alfa Romeo lose German Grand Prix penalty appeal

The F1 website reports that the "FIA's International Court of Appeal decided their protest was not admissible.

And added: "The 30-second race time penalties were issued after the stewards detected irregularities with both Raikkonen and Giovinazzi’s race starts in the wet conditions, with the measurement of the torque in both of their clutches not matching the torque demand.

The FIA bulletin issued after the race explained: “This provided a more gradual application of the torque, which given the wet conditions was a potential advantage.”
