NOTE TO TEAMS: POST QUALIFYING PROCEDURE

The Post-qualifying interview procedure requires the top three drivers to be interviewed as soon as they

get out of their cars on the track.

Should either of your drivers be among the top three at the end of qualifying we would like to ask for your

co-operation in following the procedure below:

• If they take the chequered flag at the end of Q3, the fastest three drivers should stay on the track and

procced directly to the pit straight where the 1, 2, 3 boards which will be located at the start line.

• Other than the team mechanics (with cooling fans if necessary), officials and FIA pre-approved

television crews and the three FIA approved photographers, no one else will be permitted in this area

at this time (no driver physios nor team PR personnel).

• Once out of their cars, the top three Drivers will have the opportunity to wave to the spectators in the

grandstand before being escorted to the designated interview area underneath the podium and weighed

by the FIA using the Portable Scales. Each Driver must remain fully attired until after they have been

weighed (e.g: Helmet, Gloves, etc).

• After the Drivers have been weighed, the post qualifying interviews will take place in this designated

area.

• If one of the top three drivers is already in the pit lane at the end of the session, the team must ensure

that he goes directly to the designated area once the other drivers have arrived there.

• At the end of the live interviews the pole position driver will be led to the backdrop located under the

podium for the AfRS and Pirelli Pole Position Award photo opportunity.

• Mechanics will be authorised to remove the cars from the grid only after the interviews are completed

and must push these cars directly to the parc fermé.

• The top three drivers will then be escorted across the track by the FIA Media Delegate to the FIA Press

Conference located on the second floor of the Pit Building.

• At the end of the FIA Press Conference, the top three drivers will go to the TV pen, located at the Pit

Entry end of the Paddock behind the FIA Garages and they may be accompanied by their press officers,

who should wait to collect their drivers at the back of the press conference room.

• NB: Drivers eliminated in Q1 and Q2, drivers classified from 4th to 10th in Q3 and drivers who did not

participate to Q1 but are eligible to race must also attend the TV pen interview session after they have

been weighed by the FIA at the end of the last part of qualifying in which they participated.

Please see the attached Qualifying - Parc Fermé Diagram.
