Weber hits out at A1GP officials

Ammermuller was disqualified from the race after he hit the back of Jeroen Bleekemolen at the final corner, but Weber insists that the incident was one of many and that for Team Germany to be the only exclusion is "scandalous" and has deprived them of the chance to fight for the title.

"Before our team will take any further steps, I will try to discuss the issue with the people in charge. But one thing is certain, I expect to receive clear answers, and I will not let up on this matter."

Weber claims that Team Germany were among many victims of further incidents in the feature race and is dismayed that no action was taken against any other cars.

"The stewards took time to carefully analyse the events after the race, which is why we chose not to pass any final judgement in our initial comment on Sunday. But further analysis shows the evaluation of the race by the stewards is scandalous.

"The were extreme differences between the penalties imposed for the very serious incidents that occurred. Having been disqualified from the sprint race, our car was turned around in the feature race, another driver was unable to avoid us and that was the end of our race.

"But we have no knowledge of the driver who caused the end of our race having received any significant penalty."

Weber also cites examples of other incidents, including a collision between the Team Canada car of Robert Wickens and Great Britain's Oliver Jarvis.

"After making a mistake in a blind corner, a young driver performed an extremely risky manoeuvre which provoked an accident and ruined the race of Oliver Jarvis. Prior to this, we had been accused of having caused an avoidable incident. So what about this crash, hadn't this been avoidable as well?

"Finally, Jeroen Bleekemolen was turned around again, but his opponent this time was not disqualified. Instead, the race was stopped and the previous lap classified and Adrian Zaugg received only a minor penalty that does not even affect the points.

"I am not the only one who cannot help getting the impression that the decisions involve a double standard. It's a mystery to me how something like this is possible.

"I cannot understand why the penalties imposed differ so greatly. It cannot be in the best interest of the sport that penalties are characterized by unpredictability."
