Session Race Fact Tyres were changed when the car was on the grid during the delayed start. Offence Breach of Article 40.1 a) of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.

Decision No penalty imposed. Reason The tyres on car 16 were changed after the announcement of the delayed start.  This is not permitted during such a delay.  However the team rectified the mistake within a matter of minutes and prior to the car leaving the grid.  Therefore although a breach of the regulations occurred, the Stewards impose no penalty as the breach was

rectified. 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
