Document 50 Date 26 September 2021 Time 18:28 2021 RUSSIAN GRAND PRIX 23 - 26 September 2021 The Stewards The Stewards, having received a report from the Race Director, summoned (documents 45, 46) and heard from the drivers and team representatives, have considered the following matter and determine the following:

No / Driver 18 - Lance Stroll Competitor Aston Martin Cognizant F1 Team

Time 16:25

Session Race Fact Collision with Car 10 in Turn 8. Offence Breach of Article 2 (d) Chapter IV Appendix L of the FIA International Sporting Code. Decision 10 second time penalty imposed after the race in accordance with Article 47.3b.

(10 seconds added to elapsed race time) 2 penalty points (total of 8 for the 12 month period). Reason The Stewards heard from the driver of Car 18 (Lance Stroll), the driver of Car 10 (Pierre Gasly) and team representatives, reviewed the video evidence and determined that the driver of Car 18 was wholly to blame for the collision with Car 10 at Turn 8. Although noting the evidence of the driver of Car 18 that the conditions were extremely slippery especially as he was on old hard tyres, the Stewards determined that it was still the responsibility of the driver to ensure that having left the track due to those very same conditions, he drove appropriately taking them into account when he re-joined and turned into the next corner, considering there were two other cars in close proximity. 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.
