No / Driver 5 - Sebastian Vettel Competitor Scuderia Ferrari
Time 15:56
Session Qualifying Fact Alleged leaving the track ("all four wheels over the white track edge line") on the outside
of turn 11.
Offence Alleged breach of item 11.4 a) of the Race Director's Event Notes Version 3, Article
12.1.1.i of the FIA International Sporting Code. Decision No further action. Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence, heard from the driver of car 5 (Sebastian Vettel) and the team representative. The Stewards reviewed multiple camera angles, some of which appeared to show that the tyres were not in contact with the white line of the track edge however other angles appeared to show that part of the front "wheel" (when viewed from above) may have been within the bounds of the white line. This cast an element of doubt which is considered significant enough to give the "benefit of doubt" to the driver 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.
