Time 11.40

General Instructions

1. Pit lane map

1.1 Safety Car lines.

1.2 The location of the pit entry and the pit exit.

1.3 Designated garage areas.

1.4 Safety Car position for first lap and rest of race.

1.5 Blue flag marshal at the pit exit.

1.6 Track light panels displaying pit entry status.

2. Pirelli Event Preview

2.1 With reference to Article 24.4(a) of the Sporting Regulations see the attached document provided by the official tyre supplier.

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

3.1 See the attached drawing.

4. Track light panels

4.1 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.

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

5.1 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.

6. Observing yellow flags during free practice and qualifying

6.1 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).

1/5

6.2 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.

7. In laps during qualifying and reconnaissance laps

7.1 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.

8. Parc Fermé Cameras

8.1 To assist with the revised FIA Event procedures, the Parc Fermé cameras must be uncovered and operational at all times during the Event.

9. Operational personnel curfew

9.1 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.

10. Tyre Blanket Usage during Pit Stops in the Race

10.1 For reasons of safety, tyre blankets are not permitted in the Pit Lane at any time during the race.

11. Lapping during the race

11.1 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.

13.1 An extension has been added to the concrete behind the Turn 8 apex kerb and to the exit kerb.

13.2 The additional yellow kerbs behind the exit kerbs at Turn 9 and Turn 10 have been removed and timing loops have been installed.

14. Specific Technical Procedures for Closed Events

14.1 The provisions of Technical Directive Ref: TD/025-20 must be complied with at all times during the Event.

15. Weighing and weighing platform

15.1 The FIA weighing platform will be available for teams to use at the following times, however, no more than 5 team personnel may be present during any visit. Each visit should last no more than 10

minutes unless no other team is waiting in the pit lane:

a) From 15:30 on Thursday until 11:00 on Friday.

b) From 12:30 on Friday until 14:30 on Saturday (between 13:00 and 14:30 each visit will be

restricted to five minutes).

c) From when the cars are returned to the teams after qualifying until 19:30 on Saturday.

d) From 10:00 until 11:00 and 13:00 until 14:40 on Sunday.

Any team found to be abusing the time limits set out above, which we will be enforced by FIA security

personnel and our own CCTV, will not be permitted to use the weighbridge again during the Event.

16. Support Races team barrier placement

16.1 Team barrier placement prior to and during all support category practice sessions and races: No more than two metres from the garages.

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

17. Practice starts

17.1 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 carry out 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.

17.2 For reasons of safety and sporting equity, cars may not stop in the fast lane at any time the pit exit is open without a justifiable reason (a practice start is not considered a justifiable reason).

3/5

18.3 Except in the cases of force majeure (accepted as such by the Stewards), the crossing by any part of the car, in any direction, of the white line immediately prior to the pit entry or the red and white

painted area between the pit entry and the track, by a driver who, in the opinion of the Stewards, had

committed to entering the pit lane is prohibited.

19. Cars stopping on the Track
