the following:
No / Driver 6 - Nicholas Latifi Competitor Williams Racing
Time 14:33
Session Qualifying Fact Car 6 did not leave the pit lane in the correct order in relation to other cars already in
the fast lane.
Offence Breach of Article 28.7 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations.
Decision No further action Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 6 (Nicholas Latifi) and team representative. At the restart of the session, Car 6 left the pit lane ahead of cars which had already formed up in the fast lane. The Stewards accept the team's explanation that, unless they are first to move to the fast lane, the positioning of their garages which are located at the end of the pit lane makes it impossible for their cars to join the end of the line of cars already there. The Stewards also accept that it is difficult for the driver, having moved out of his garage, to determine exactly where he should filter into the line of cars once they start to leave the pit lane. In these circumstances, and considering that no unsafe situation was caused in this instance, the Stewards determine that no further action is appropriate. 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 Chapter 4 of the FIA Judicial and Disciplinary Rules, within the applicable time limits.
