The energy store used by Marcus Ericsson is the third new energy store for the 2018 Championship season and this is not 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.

The Alfa Romeo Sauber F1 Team informed the technical delegate about the energy store change on 06 October 2018 at 17:54hrs.

The gearbox of car number 09, driver Marcus Ericsson, 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 06 October 2018 at 17:54hrs), 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.
