Williams has lodged a request for stewards to review several incidents that took place during the Azerbaijan Grand Prix, including the clash that earned Sergey Sirotkin a three-place grid penalty.
Williams has asked for the stewards to review the clash between Sirotkin and Sergio Perez on the approach to Turn 2 on the first lap, for which Sirotkin received a three-place grid drop for the forthcoming Spanish Grand Prix.
The team has also asked for the incidents that involved Pierre Gasly and Kevin Magnussen, for which the latter was penalised, and the contact between Kimi Raikkonen and Esteban Ocon, which was deemed a racing incident, to be reviewed.
Furthermore, Williams has asked for the incident that involved Sirotkin, Nico Hulkenberg and Fernando Alonso also be reviewed, as well as “the actions of Car 14 [Alonso] in returning to the pits”.
Alonso sustained two punctures in the clash, which occurred as the trio exited Turn 2, but recovered his damaged McLaren MCL33 to the pit lane, from where he went on to take seventh position.
An initial hearing will take place via teleconference at 10:00 UK time on Tuesday in order to determine whether there is sufficient new evidence to pursue the matter further.
Should it be deemed that a new element or elements have been identified, then a second hearing to conduct the reviews will take place at 11:00 UK time.
Williams scored its first points of 2018 at the event courtesy of Lance Stroll's eighth place.
