area at this time (no team PR personnel. Driver physios must wait outside the cool down room behind the podium until the podium ceremony has concluded following the instructions given

to all teams by the Media Delegate). At the sole discretion of the FIA Media Delegate, the teamembedded photographer of the winning driver may also be permitted in the designated area. All other photographers must remain outside of the designated area for the duration of the Parc Fermé and Podium procedure. x Competitors are reminded of Article 63.2 of the FIA Formula One Sporting Regulations – "For the duration of the Post Race Interviews and Podium Ceremony Procedure, the Drivers finishing in race in positions 1, 2, 3 must remain attired only in their Driving Suits, 'done up' to the neck, not opened to the waist." x Drivers will be weighed by the FIA. Each Driver must be fully attired while they are weighed (e.g.: Helmet, Gloves, etc.). Water will be available in the parc fermé area after the driver has been weighed. x Once weighed, the Drivers will be called for their post-race interviews. The post-race interviews will take place in the designated area, and the interviewer will be selected by the Commercial Rights Holder. x Drivers must not interfere with Parc Fermé protocols in any way. x Once the interviews have been completed, the Drivers will be immediately escorted to the cool down room behind the podium. x Each Driver will be given their Pirelli Caps. x The drivers will then be escorted to the Podium area where the 1, 2, 3 Rostrum and Dias will be located. x When the Drivers are ready, an announcement for the Podium Ceremony will take place with the 3rd and 2nd placed Drivers introduced to move to their respective Podium Dias steps. x The Winning Driver will then be announced who will move to his position on the Podium.

2 x The National Anthems will then take place and flags will be displayed. x Dignitaries will present the trophies on the podium as arranged by the Master of Ceremonies. x The Trophy Presentations will take place in the following order: o Winning Driver (On the Podium) o A representative of the Winning Constructor (On the Podium) o 2nd Place Driver (On the Podium) o 3rd Place Driver (On the Podium) x Following the Podium Ceremony, the top three (3) drivers will be escorted by the FIA Media Delegate to the TV pen located at the Pit Entry end of the paddock, where they may be accompanied by their press officers. x At the end of the TV pen, the top three (3) drivers will go to the FIA Press Conference, located on the lower ground level of the paddock building.

x Drivers from 4th and beyond must proceed directly to the TV pen after they have been weighed in the Parc Fermé, located in the FIA garage.
