NOTE TO TEAMS

In addition to the provisions of the 2019 Formula One Sporting Regulations – Appendix 3 Podium Ceremony, the

procedure must be followed.

The post-race interview procedure will remain as in the previous race with the top three drivers again being

interviewed as soon as they get out of their cars.

We would like to ask for your co-operation in following the simple procedure set out below:

• After taking the chequered flag, all drivers will return to the pit lane via the pit exit. All teams must note that

this means that cars will be driving in the opposite direction down the pit lane. It is the responsibility of the

teams to ensure that no non-essential team personnel or guests enter the pit lane until after the last car

has stopped in parc fermé.

• Drivers who finish the race in the top three positions will be required to proceed directly to the 1,2,3 boards

which will be located in front of the FIA Garages.

• Once out of their cars, the interviews will take place in this designated area. The interviewer will be David

Coulthard.

• Drivers must not interfere with parc fermé protocols in any way.

• At the end of the live interviews, the drivers will be escorted by the FIA Press Delegate to the 1st floor of the

Pit Building, where the cool down area is located.

• These drivers will be weighed by the FIA in the cool down area before the podium ceremony.

• At the end of podium ceremony, the top three drivers will go downstairs to the TV pen, located in the Paddock

between the Mercedes and FIA Transporters and they may be accompanied by their press officers.

• After the TV pen interviews, the top three drivers will be escorted to the FIA Press Conference located on the

1st floor of the Pit Building.

• Parc fermé for all finishers outside of the top three will be located at the Pit Entry behind the top three cars.

• Drivers classified from 4th and beyond must proceed directly to the TV pen immediately after they have been

weighed in the parc fermé, located in the FIA garage.

• Drivers who retired during the race are requested to go to the TV pen as soon as they have come back into

the paddock.
