Mercedes filed a protest to the FIA about the procedures at the end of the season finale in Abu Dhabi.
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton was passed for the race win and the championship by Red Bull’s Max Verstappen on the final lap after the race was restarted with one lap to go. The race finished under green after a safety car was deployed for Nicholas Latifi’s crash with less than five laps to go.
In its protest, Mercedes says that F1 officials did not follow rule 48.
