"Motorsport.com understands that ART Grand Prix, Carlin, DAMS and UNI-Virtuosi are all considering filing an appeal against this decision and the lack of a sporting penalty. The teams have the allocated four days (96 hours) to appeal from the time of the decision."
Yeah, but the reason for my question was that protest and appeal are different actions and the headline was somewhat misleading, or even perhaps fake news.
Mick missed out on his first run in a F1 car. The session was cancelled due to rain. The heavy rain grounded the helicopters, that were on standby for emergency evacuations in case of accidents, so no FP1.
