Time 18:46 2021 AZERBAIJAN GRAND PRIX 3 - 6 June 2021 The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 6 - Nicholas Latifi Competitor Williams Racing Time 17:34

Session Race

Fact Car 6 did not enter the pit lane as instructed during the safety car period. Offence Breach of Articles 39.11, 39.5, 39.8 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations. Decision 10 second stop and go penalty (3 penalty point imposed, total of 3 points in the 12 month period) Reason The Stewards reviewed video evidence, noted that the pit lane had to be used at 17:32. After VER's accident on the start-finish-straight the Race Director ordered the cars to use the pit lane, as a tow truck and marshals were on the track to recover the damaged Red Bull car. This was indicated by a light signal in good time before the pit lane entry. While all other cars followed the SC into the pit lane, LAT ignored the instruction, stayed on the straight and passed the scene of the recovery. During this process he overtook two other cars that drove properly through the pit lane. The stewards also found, that all teams were informed in good time by radio and that his team asked LAT to box. This is a clear breach of Article 39.11 that requires a mandatory drive through penalty. In addition the overtaking of other cars (Article 39.8) and the dangerous passing of the scene on the track (Article 39.5) justify a 10-second-sanction in total and 3 (three) penalty points. 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.
