Technical Delegate's Report

After the qualifying session the energy store (ES) of car number 77, driver Valtteri Bottas, was replaced for a new one which is one of the two new energy store allowed for the 2018 Championship season and this is in conformity with Article 23.3a of the 2018 Formula One Sporting Regulations.

The energy store has been replaced with the approval of the FIA technical delegate following a written request from the team concerned, this being in accordance with Article 34.2 of the 2018 Formula One Sporting Regulations.

After the qualifying session the control electronics (CE) of car number 77, driver Valtteri Bottas, was replaced for a new one which is one of the two new control electronics allowed for the 2018 Championship season and this is in conformity with Article 23.3a of the 2018 Formula One Sporting Regulations.

The control electronics has been replaced with the approval of the FIA technical delegate following a written request from the team concerned, this being in accordance with Article 34.2 of the 2018 Formula One Sporting Regulations.

The gearbox of car number 77, driver Valtteri Bottas, was replaced for a new one.

The gearbox has been replaced with the approval of the FIA technical delegate following a written request from the team concerned (requested on 24 March 2018 at 19:11hrs), this being in accordance with Article 34.2 of the 2018 Formula One Sporting Regulations.

The gearbox change was before the six consecutive Events expired. Therefore this is not in compliance with Article 23.5a of the 2018 Formula One Sporting Regulations and I am referring this matter to the stewards for their consideration.

The FIA Formula One Technical Delegate Jo Bauer
