Session Race Fact Ignoring blue flags Offence Breach of Appendix H, Article 2.5.5.1.d) of the FIA International Sporting Code.

Decision 5 Second Time Penalty. (1 penalty point imposed, total of 1 point in the 12-month period) Reason The Stewards reviewed multiple angles of video evidence.  Car 9 had just departed the pits with Car 11 approaching down the main straight.  Car 9 turned into the apex of Turn 3 while Car 11 was attempting to overtake on the inside at the entrance to the corner.  Car 11 was forced to abandon the pass and lock up to avoid a collision. While not mitigating the breach of the regulations, the Stewards note that Car 9 did not have a radio warning in time to react. 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
