Don't like the result? Don't worry, sport no longer ends on the field of play | Jonathan Liew

Formula Two at Spa produced a case study in how racing outcomes can be overturned after the checkered flag. Campos Racing driver Noel León finished seventh and earned six points in the drivers’ championship, but the FIA later held a meeting more than three hours after the race ended and disqualified him. The FIA cited a serious breach of appendix 5 and article 21.5 of the F2 Sporting Regulations, related to the use of headsets. During the event, a guest in the Campos garage was seen wearing what was deemed the wrong type of headset for non-team personnel. The FIA’s decision highlights that penalties and adjudications can extend beyond the track, with disputes shifting toward negotiation and litigation. The piece also notes that sports arbitration caseloads have grown markedly over time, reaching close to 1,000 requests in recent years.
