Note to Teams

This Race Directors' Instruction, should be read in conjunction with Document 28 – Race Directors Event Notes Version 3.

Turn 1/2/3

I would like to provide the following clarification regarding the policing of the Turn 1/2/3 requirements for the Race Start or any subsequent Standing Start Restart ONLY: Any driver who leaves the track at Turn 1/2 will be required to ensure that they re-join the track safely and do not gain a lasting advantage. In practical terms this will mean giving up any positions that were gained. The instruction to go around the bollard at Turn 3 in this circumstance ONLY will not be a requirement.

General

Drivers and Competitors are reminded of the provisions of the Appendix L Chapter IV Circuit Article 2b to the FIA International Sporting Code. In particular the following provisions which also apply at the start of the race: "However, manoeuvres liable to hinder other drivers, such as deliberate crowding of a car beyond the edge of the track or any other abnormal change of direction, are strictly prohibited. Any driver who appears guilty of any of the above offences will be reported to the Stewards."

The FIA Formula One Race Director Michael Masi
