Technical Delegate's Report

During the first free practice session:

The tyre starting pressures of all cars during P1 were checked.

The engine high rev limit bands were checked on all cars.

The fuel flow meter calibration checksum was checked on all cars.

The instantaneous fuel mass flow of all cars was checked.

The fuel temperature of all cars was checked.

The plenum temperature of all cars was checked.

After the first free practice session:

It was checked that all cars did not exceed 15000 rpm during the first free practice session.

The fuel pressure of all cars during the first free practice session was checked.

The logged pressure within the engine cooling system during the first free practice session was checked on all cars.

The custom software versions were checked on all cars.

A fuel sample was taken from car number 07.

An engine oil sample was taken from car number 27.

During the second free practice session:

The tyre starting pressures of all cars during P2 were checked.

The engine high rev limit bands were checked on all cars.

The fuel flow meter calibration checksum was checked on all cars.

The instantaneous fuel mass flow of all cars was checked.

The fuel temperature of all cars was checked.

The plenum temperature of all cars was checked.

After the second free practice session:

The tyres used by all drivers during the sessions today have been checked.

A fuel sample was taken from car number 31.

The results of fuel analyses show that the fuels were the same as ones, which had been approved for use by the relevant competitors prior to the Event. Further the density change of the fuel samples taken today was within the permitted limits.

An engine oil sample was taken from car number 31.

The engine oil samples have been analysed by FTIR spectroscopy and viscometry. The results of the FTIR analyses show that the sampled oils were consistent with reference engine oil samples which had been approved for use by the relevant competitors prior to the Event.

All the above items were found to be in conformity with the 2020 FIA Formula One Technical Regulations.
