NOTE TO TEAMS: POST QUALIFYING PROCEDURE

The Post-Qualifying interview procedure requires the top three (3) drivers to be interviewed in the Pit Lane in front of the FIA Garages once they have got out of their cars on the Grid. Should either of your drivers be among the top three (3) 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 (3) drivers should stay on track and proceed directly to the Grid where the 1, 2, 3 boards will be located in the vicinity of grid position 12.
• Other than the team mechanics (with cooling fans if necessary), officials and FIA pre-approved television crews and the four (4) FIA approved photographers, no one else will be allowed in this designated area at this time (no driver physios nor team PR personnel). At the sole discretion of the FIA Media Delegate, the team-embedded photographer of the pole position driver may also be permitted on the grid at this time.
• Once out of their cars, the top three (3) Drivers will be escorted through the gate in the Pit Wall to the interview area located in front of the FIA Garages where each Driver will be weighed by the FIA. 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. The interviewer will be David Coulthard.
• At the same time each team must bring these cars directly to the Parc Fermé area located at the Pit Lane Entry under the supervision of the officials.
• If one (1) of the top three (3) drivers is already in the Pit Lane at the end of the session, the team should 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 in front of the FIA Garages for the AfRS and Pirelli Award photo opportunity.
• 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 attend the TV interview session located at the back of the FIA Garage after they have been weighed by the FIA at the end of the last part of qualifying in which they participated.
