Haas: Force India protest is about seeking equality

The Haas Formula One team says it has launched a protest against rivals Force India at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in a bid to seek 'equality' over a long-running prize money dispute.

The protest hearing took place in Abu Dhabi on Friday and the race stewards are currently deliberating over the evidence ahead of a decision before final practice on Saturday. The exact details of the protest have not been made public but it is believed to be linked to Force India's change of ownership over the summer and, ultimately, its claim to a strand of prize money from F1's revenues.
