Document 8 Date 02 August 2019 Time 13:23 2019 HUNGARIAN GRAND PRIX 1 - 4 August 2019 The Stewards The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (document 6) and heard from the driver and team representative, have considered the following matter and determine the

following:

No / Driver 4 - Lando Norris Competitor McLaren F1 Team

Time 12:11

Session Practice 1 Fact Stopping in the fast lane, contrary to the Race Director's instruction (Document 2, item 7.2). Offence Breach of Article 12.1.1.i of the FIA International Sporting Code.

Decision No penalty is imposed. No further action required. Reason The Stewards reviewed video and audio evidence, heard from the driver of car 4 (Lando Norris) and a team representative.  It was explained that the team instructed the driver to conduct a "bite point find" in the Pit Lane.  This procedure normally involves the slowing, but not the stopping, of the car. However, in this case the driver accidentally stalled the car, the anti-stall activated and the car moved again after 0.7 of a second. Accordingly, although technically this was not in accord with the instructions in the Race Director's Notes (Document 2 item 7.2) the Stewards decide that no penalty shall be imposed. 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.
