Racing Point boss Otmar Szafnauer has launched a staunch defence over the creation of their RP20, singling out Haas and AlphaTauri in the process.

Ferrari, Renault, McLaren and Williams have all stated their intention to appeal the decision from the FIA to deduct Racing Point 15 Constructor points and fined them 400,000 Euros for breaching the Sporting Regulations with the use of their Mercedes-inspired rear brake ducts.

Those aforementioned four teams think the punishment should be even more severe, especially as Racing Point can continue to use the brake ducts as they are legal from a technical perspective.

Racing Point are launching their own appeal, but they feel they should not be punished at all.
