To All Officials, All Teams Date 27 March 2021

Time 19:55

The Stewards, having received reports from the Race Director, have considered the following matters and determine the following:

Session Qualifying

Fact The cars below were alleged to not have respected single waved yellow flags at Turn 8 at 18:18h

Decision Car Driver Competitor
1 31 Estaban Ocon Alpine F1 Team
2 18 Lance Stroll Aston Martin Cognizant F1 Team
3 5 Sebastian Vettel Aston Martin Cognizant F1 Team
4 63 George Russell Williams Racing

Offence Alleged Breach of Appendix H, Article 2.5.5.b of the FIA International Sporting Code.

Decision No further action.

Reason The Stewards reviewed video, timing and telemetry evidence and each car took appropriate action in the yellow flag sector. In each case, the driver set a slower time in the sector, drove appropriately by the video, and telemetry showed they took appropriate actions.

Three other cars drove through the sector during the yellow, but there was clearly no need to investigate their actions as they were significantly slower.

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.
