1/4

6. Red zones for photographers in the pit lane during practice sessions

6.1 See the attached drawing.

7. Pit Lane Speed Limit

7.1 For safety reasons, the Pit lane Speed limit detailed in Article 22.10 of the 2019 Formula One Sporting Regulations is hereby amended to 60km/h for the duration of the Event.

8. Practice starts

8.1 Practice starts may only be carried out on the track at the end of each free practice session, none may be carried out in the pit lane. Any car on the track when the chequered flag is shown may then complete another lap and, instead of entering the pits, proceed to the grid and make a practice start.

All drivers carrying out a practice must do so by pulling as far forward on the grid as possible and, if necessary, should wait for others to carry out a start before getting to a grid position further forward. Under no circumstances should a driver make a practice start if another car is still stationary in front of him on the same side of the grid.

If any driver appears to be disregarding any of the above a red flag will be displayed and the possibility to carry out any further starts will be immediately terminated.

9. Lines or bollards at the Pit Entry and Pit Exit

9.1 In accordance with Chapter 4 (Section 5) of Appendix L to the ISC drivers must keep to the right of the solid yellow line at the pit exit when leaving the pits and stay to the right of it until it finishes after Turn 1. No part of any car leaving the pits may cross this line.

9.2 In order to warn drivers leaving the pits that the pit exit is obstructed, two yellow arrows will be illuminated, one at the pit exit and one just before Turn 1. If either of these are illuminated, drivers leaving the pits are permitted to cross the yellow line.

9.3 There are no restrictions at the pit entry.

10. Lights before Pit Exit

10.1 There are two yellow arrows above the track just before the pit exit, these will be flashed to warn drivers on the track that a car is leaving the pit lane.

11. Turn 10-11 (Chicane) Escape Road

11.1 If a car uses the escape road at Turn 10-11 (Chicane) the driver may re-join the track only when the lights, operated by the marshal on the spot, are turned green.

12. Observing yellow flags during free practice and qualifying

12.1 Double waved: Any driver passing through a double waved yellow marshalling sector must reduce speed significantly and be prepared to change direction or stop. In order for the stewards to be satisfied that any such driver has complied with these requirements it must be clear that he has not attempted to set a meaningful lap time, for practical purposes this means the driver should abandon the lap (this does not necessarily mean he has to pit as the track could well be clear the following lap).

12.2 Single waved: Drivers should reduce their speed and be prepared to change direction. It must be clear that a driver has reduced speed and, in order for this to be clear, a driver would be expected to have braked earlier and/or discernibly reduced speed in the relevant marshalling sector.

Drivers should not overtake any car in a single waved yellow marshalling sector unless it is clear that a car is slowing with a completely obvious problem, e.g. obvious accident damage or a deflated tyre.

2/4

13. Track light panels

13.1 The FIA track light panels have been installed in the positions shown on the circuit map. In accordance with Appendix H to the ISC the light signals have the same meaning as flag signals.

14. Drivers leaving their pit stop position in the pit lane

14.1 For safety reasons, no car should be driven from its pit stop position at any time unless:

a) It has first been driven into the pit stop position having just entered the pit lane from the track, and;

b) It is then driven immediately back onto the track from the pit stop position.

15. Fire extinguishers around the circuit

15.1 Indicated by small fluorescent orange boards attached to the debris fences.

16. Places to remove cars from the track

16.1 Indicated by fluorescent orange panels on the walls or guardrails.

17. Support races and Pit Walks

17.1 Team barrier placement prior to and during all support race practice sessions and races: No more than one metre from the garages.

17.2 Please ensure all your pit equipment is no more than one metre from your garage during the following times: Thursday 07.15 (Before Formula Renault Eurocup practice) 08.30 (Before the Formula 2 practice) 12.35 (Before the Formula 2 qualifying) 16.45 (Before the Porsche Supercup practice) Friday 07.10 (Before the Formula Renault Eurocup qualifying) 09.15 (Before the Porsche Supercup qualifying) 10.45 (Before the first Formula 2 race) Saturday 09.30 (Before the first Formula Renault Eurocup race) 16.30 (Before the second Formula 2 race) Sunday 09.45 (Before the Porsche Supercup race) 11.15 (Before the second Formula Renault Eurocup race)

17.3 It is not permitted to push cars to the weighing area at any time a support category is in pit lane.

18. In laps during qualifying and reconnaissance laps

18.1 In order to ensure that cars are not driven unnecessarily slowly on in laps during and after the end of qualifying or during reconnaissance laps when the pit exit is opened for the race, drivers must stay below the maximum time set by the FIA between the Safety Car lines shown on the pit lane map.

You will be informed of the maximum time after the first day of practice.

19. Post qualifying parc fermé

19.1 The cameras should be installed and operated in the same way as usual.

20. Operational personnel curfew

20.1 Boards warning anyone attempting to enter the paddock that the curfew is in operation will be placed immediately before the turnstiles at the appropriate times.

21. Removing cars from the grid

21.1 Pit Exit.

3/4

22. Car number light panels for the start

22.1 On the right hand side of the grid.

23. Track light panels displaying pit entry status

23.1 The light panel indicated on the pit lane map will display flashing yellow arrows if cars are required to use the pit lane once the Safety Car has been deployed during the race.

23.2 The light panel indicated on the pit lane map will display flashing red crosses if the pit lane is closed at any point during the race.

24. Lapping during the race

24.1 The ISC requires drivers who are caught by another car about to lap him to allow the faster driver past at the first available opportunity. The F1 Marshalling System has been developed in order to ensure that the point at which a driver is shown blue flags is consistent, rather than trusting the ability of marshals to identify situations that require blue flags.

As it was at the end of last season the system will be set to give a pre-warning when the faster car is within 3.0s of the car about to be lapped, this should be used by the team of the slower car to warn their driver he is soon going to be lapped and that allowing the faster car through should be considered a priority. When the faster car is within 1.2s of the car about to be lapped blue flags will be shown to the slower car (in addition to blue light panels, blue cockpit lights and a message on the timing monitors) and the driver must allow the following driver to overtake at the first available opportunity.

It should be noted that the aim of using F1MS is ensure consistent application of the rules, additional instructions may also be given by race control when necessary.

25. Suspending a race

25.1 If the race is suspended we would like the first car entering the pit lane to stop at the end of the last garage, rather than going to the pit exit lights. This will provide more room for the teams and allow any cars permitted to un-lap to be pushed to the front of the line of cars in the fast lane.

26. Post race parc fermé

26.1 The first three cars will proceed to the grid for the Podium Presentation.

26.2 All remaining cars must enter the pit lane and should be driven directly to the weighing area.

27. Any other business
