I have decided not to appeal this decision, as any reduction in penalty would likely result in a grid-drop at the following round.

I feel that I would be better off taking this DQ on the chin, and concentrating on a good Round 2 result from a decent grid slot.

Had the 'new' rules been in place for Round 1 I am confident I would have been allowed the reset, but I can understand that rules cannot be applied to events prior to their inception.

See you at Aston,

Tristan

I shan't appeal either. That was a bad move on my part and I take the blame for it.
