"In his appeal to the CAS, Mr Rossi seeks the annulment of the penalty, or at least a reduction from three points to one," a statement from CAS said.

"Together with his appeal, Mr Rossi has filed an urgent application to stay the execution of the challenged decision in order not to lose his place on the starting grid at the next, and last, event of the season which will be held in Valencia, Spain on 6-8 November 2015."

A decision is expected next week.
