No / Driver 10 - Pierre Gasly Competitor Aston Martin Red Bull Racing

Time 15:38

Session Qualifying Fact Car 10 unnecessarily impeded car 8 at turn 4. 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 imposed (total of 3 in the 12 month period). Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence and heard from the driver of car 10 (Pierre Gasly) and the driver of car 8 (Romain Grosjean) and the team representatives.  The driver of car 8 had to brake hard to avoid colliding with car 10 which was going slowly on a preparation lap, and was on the race line. At the time car 8 was clearly the only car on a fast lap in the area, and while the Stewards accepted that it was unlikely that the driver of car 10 had any opportunity in that sequence of turns to see car 8, the team admitted that they had failed to give any warning. The Stewards therefore determined that car 10 unnecessarily impeded car 8 and imposed a three grid place penalty and consistent with past practice imposed one penalty point. 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.
