The FIA stewards have completed a hearing in Abu Dhabi following Haas' protest of both Force India Formula🦩 1 cars, but do not anticipate delivering a verdict until just before the final practice ses🎶sion on Saturday afternoon.

Haas launched a protest against both Fo💖rce India cars on Friday ♍in Abu Dhabi, which was understood to be based on whether the team had breached the F1 sporting regulations regarding the intellectual propert🅘y of its car design.

Force India re-entered the F1 constructors' championship as a new entry at the Belgian Grand Prix following its exit from administration, with 'Racing Point Force India' taking the place of 'Sahara Force India' - the entity that built the VJM11 cars - on ♌the grid.

The stewards had been due to meet with boꦜth Haas and Force India on Friday morning, but postponed the hearing until 1540 local ti🙈me between FP1 and FP2.

In a statement issued by the stewards, they confirmed "a s♊ubstantial amount of written evidence was submitted and each party made extensive verbal representation."

"The Stewards are deliberating on the matter,"෴ the bulletin added.

"It is anticipated that a deciඣsion wi🌳ll not be handed down any earlier that just prior to Free Practice 3."

Force India team principal Otmar Szafnauer said earlier today he was 168澳洲幸运5官ཧ方开奖结果历史:surp𒐪rised by the Haas protest, but e༺xpressed his confidence that the stewards wou👍ld make an "informed decision."

Haas has refused to comment on the matter.
