Red Bull’s appeal against the Daniel Ricciardo disqualification will take place in Paris a week after the Bahrain grand prix, the FIA announced late on Friday.<\/p>\n

\"Red-Bull-1\"“The decision will be published as soon as possible after the (April 14) hearing,” said the governing body in a statement.<\/p>\n

The hearing is an important one not only for Red Bull – pushing to recover from a disastrous 2014 pre-season – but also for the FIA as it governs the sport’s revolutionary regulations change.<\/p>\n

Ricciardo was excluded by the stewards because a mandatory flow sensor fitted to his car showed that its Renault engine broke the new rule limiting fuel consumption.<\/p>\n

Red Bull’s Dr Helmut Marko told Auto Bild: “The sensors are not accurate enough and we will prove it.”<\/p>\n

The FIA warned not only Red Bull but also other teams – including Mercedes – that although their own data may have shown their fuel flow complying with the rules, the sensors needed to be recalibrated and obeyed.<\/p>\n

Mercedes’ Toto Wolff, adding that he backs the FIA, said that complying with the FIA in Australia cost the W05 “between half a second and a second” of additional laptime.<\/p>\n

If Red Bull wins the appeal, it might limit the FIA’s ability to effectively govern the fuel flow rules in 2014.<\/p>\n
