FERRARI have thrown the Monaco Grand Prix result in doubt after protesting Sergio Perez and Max Verstappen’s pit lane exits.
The Red Bull pair recorded a 1-3 finish in the French race on Sunday.
Ferrari have protested Red Bull’s victory at the Monaco GP
But Ferrari are looking to shake things up by lodging a complaint with the FIA.
It’s reckoned the Italians are unhappy with Perez and Verstappen’s exits from the pit lane.
The duo are claimed to have crossed the line early on Lap 22 to rejoin the race, instead of sticking to the right until the line ran out.
Perez and Verstappen have now been summoned to the stewards.
But while it’s thought there may be a case for Verstappen, Perez is said to have stayed within the boundary line.
Ferrari’s Mattia Binotto said: “We are disappointed because we believe there was a clear breach of regulations on the two Red Bull going on the yellow line exiting the pit.
“I think it was not close. It was on the line and if you look at the intonation of the sporting code it is saying crossing, but we had a clarification in Turkey 2020 to avoid any discussions and if you look at the race director notes it indicates staying to the right.
“So, being on the line is breaching the race director notes and I think each single team has a duty and a task to follow the race director notes.

“So for us, that is something unclear and we are still seeking clarification from the FIA and we will be happy to have as soon as possible our feedback.”
Ferrari were left red-faced in the race after a pit-stop cock-up saw Charles Leclerc relinquish top spot.
Leclerc started well despite the rainy conditions which unfortunately saw Mick Schumacher involved in a horror crash.
However the ace was called into the pits along with teammate Carlos Sainz in the 22nd lap – the same one Perez and Verstappen are accused of crossing the pit line.
But as Leclerc approached the turn-off, his race engineer started shouting “stay out, stay out!”
Yet it was too late and so the Ferrari star was forced into a stop.
Then, as Leclerc re-entered the race, he found himself passed by both Max Verstappen and his Red Bull teammate Sergio Perez.
Leclerc was far from happy, and blasted Ferrari’s terrible tactical decision on the radio.

He was heard yelling: “Why?! What are you doing?!”
But it was too little, too late, with Leclerc’s own Ferrari teammate Sainz also moving ahead in the rankings.
