The team’s advisor, Dr. Helmut Marko, revealed that they want to ensure two things with this review – that the FIA has all available evidence when they make a decision and that Max knows he has the team’s full support.
Helmut Marko on Red Bull requesting a review of Lewis's penalty: "Anything is possible: a harsher penalty, reduced penalty, a removal of the penalty. All we care about is that the new findings are taken into account. And that Max sees clearly that we are fully behind him."
