Date 01 December 2019 Time 22:08 2019 ABU DHABI GRAND PRIX 28 November - 1 December 2019 The Stewards, having received a report from the Technical Delegate (document 34), summoned (document 36) and heard from the team representative, have considered the following matter and determine the following:
No / Driver 16 - Charles Leclerc Competitor Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow Time 16:22
Session Race
Fact Inaccurate fuel declaration of car 16. Offence Breach of Article 12.1.1.i of the FIA International Sporting Code. Decision The Competitor (Scuderia Ferrari Mission Winnow) is fined €50,000. Reason The Stewards heard from the team representative, FIA Technical Delegate and the FIA Head of Single Seater Technical Matters. TD/014-19 required teams to declare the amount of fuel that they intended to put in the car for the laps to the grid, the formation lap, the race, the in-lap and any fire-ups that would be needed. The Technical Delegate was able to confirm the fuel mass put in the tank by checking in accordance with the procedure specified in TD/014-19. There was a difference of 4.88kgs between the team's declaration for car 16 and the Technical Delegate's measured fuel mass. The team's declaration was therefore inaccurate and constituted a breach of the Technical Directive. This in turn constitutes an infringement of Article 12.1.1.i of the International Sporting Code. Accordingly, the stewards determined that the team should be fined €50,000 for its inaccurate declaration. Competitors are reminded that they have the right to appeal certain decisions of the Stewards, in accordance with Article 15 of the FIA International Sporting Code and Article 9.1.1 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, within the applicable time limits.
