Date 25 May 2019 Time 17:33 2019 MONACO GRAND PRIX 22 - 26 May 2019 The Stewards The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (documents 22 and 23) and heard from the drivers and team representatives, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 99 - Antonio Giovinazzi Competitor Alfa Romeo Racing

Time 15:04

Session Qualifying Fact Car 99 unnecessarily impeded car 27 in turn 18. 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 1 in the 12 month period). Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence and heard from the driver of car 99 (Antonio Giovinazzi) and the driver of car 27 (Nico Hulkenberg) and the team representatives. The driver of car 99 was between turn 16 and turn 18 when he was warned exceptionally late that car 27 was behind him. At the time he was in the middle of the track and clearly impeded car 27. The Stewards considered that as the driver of car 99 was on a setup lap, he had the opportunity to give more room regardless of whether he received a warning from the team. Further the team had the opportunity to give a better warning. The Stewards therefore determined that the impeding was unnecessary, and ordered a three grid place drop, consistent with past practice. One penalty point was assessed. 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.
