SportPesa Racing Point F1 Team Document 43 Date 23 June 2019 Time 15:56 2019 FRENCH GRAND PRIX 20 - 23 June 2019 The Stewards The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 11 - Sergio Perez Competitor SportPesa Racing Point F1 Team

Time 15:13

Session Race Fact Car 11 left the track between turn 3 and turn 4 and gained an advantage. Offence Breach of Article 27.3 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision 5 second time penalty

1 penalty point imposed (total of 4 in the 12 month period). Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence from multiple angles and on-board video. Perez left the track between Turn 3 and Turn 4. Although Perez followed the procedure in the Race Director's notes, he clearly gained positions when he re-joined the track at Turn 5 and retained this advantage. The Stewards reviewed whether Perez was forced off, and determined that this was not the case. Gaining an advantage is a breach of the Regulations and of the Race Director's instructions (Point 10.6) which states that even if you follow the procedure you may only re-join the track without gaining a lasting advantage. 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.
