No / Driver 63 - George Russell Competitor ROKiT Williams Racing

Time 15:17

Session Qualifying Fact Car 63 unnecessarily impeded car 26 at turn 9. Offence Breach of Article 31.5 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.

Decision A drop of 3 grid positions in accordance with Article 31.4 of the Formula One Sporting Regulations. (1 penalty point awarded, 1 points in total for the 12 month period). Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence and heard from the driver of car 26 (Daniil Kvyat) and the driver of car 63 (George Russell) and the team representatives and determined that car 63 unnecessarily impeded car 26 after the apex of Turn 9. The Stewards noted that car 63 was not given the requisite warning by the team in a timely fashion about car 26 approaching on a fast lap. Furthermore, the situation was compounded by car 23 overtaking car 63 during a slow lap, just before the incident in question. 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.
