70TH ANNIVERSARY GRAND PRIX

6 – 9 August 2020

From The Stewards Document 41

To The Team Manager, Date 9 August 2020 BWT Racing Point F1 Team Time 16:44

The Stewards, having received a report from the Technical Delegate (document 39), summoned (document 40) and heard from the team representative, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 18 – Lance Stroll, 27 – Nico Hulkenberg

Competitor BWT Racing Point F1 Team

Time 16:01

Session Race

Fact Conformity of the rear brake ducts of car 18 and car 27

Offence Breach of Appendix 6 of the 2020 FIA F1 Sporting Regulations

Decision Team reprimand

Reason The Stewards ordered the Technical Delegate to inspect the Brake Ducts of the BWT Racing Point F1 Team Car # 18 and Car #27. His report concluded that the Brake Ducts on the cars are probably of the same design as the Brake Ducts used at the previous three Grand Prix. The Stewards then summoned the Team Representative of Racing Point, who confirmed in writing that the Brake Ducts are of the same design as those used at the previous three Grand Prix. The facts in this case are therefore identical to the situation in the previous three Grand Prix.

On Wednesday 5 August, 2020 a Special Panel of Stewards was formed by the authorities that appointed the Stewards to the previous three Grand Prix to hear together the protests lodged by Renault DP World F1 Team against the cars of BWT Racing Point F1 Team. The Stewards have taken notice of the decision in Document 4 (including the note in Document 5) of the Special Panel.

The Stewards of the 70th Anniversary Grand Prix believe that is important for the orderly conduct of the sport that the interpretation of the regulations by the stewards be reasonably consistent. The Stewards therefore join the decision of the Special Panel of Stewards and incorporate herein by reference, their findings of fact, reasoning and the reasoning behind their choice of penalties. This

present decision should be read as entirely consistent with and drawing the same conclusions as Decision Document 4 (incl. Doc. 5) of the Special Panel.

The Stewards therefore find that BWT Racing Point F1 Team is in Breach of Appendix 6 of the 2020 FIA F1 Sporting Regulations and order a Reprimand for the Team, operating Car 18 and Car 27.

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 10.1.1 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, within the applicable time limits.
